Householder planning consent at 9 Princes Square, Hove
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Brighton And Hove Planning Committee on 7 May 2025.
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
What people said
A neighbour objected over dust, noise, privacy, the heat pump and heritage, while the applicant and agent supported the proposals.
Questions about the works
The committee discussed the heat pump, construction controls, side windows, wooden windows, the basement and effects on neighbours.
“Councillor Theobald was informed that the air source heat pump could not be moved to opposite side of the property. The side windows facing the neighbour are slot windows for light. The working hours for construction will be covered by standard environmental health requirements. Any issues arising from the works can be looked at by environmental health.”
“Councillor Thomson was informed that the new wooden windows would be more efficient. The basement will not be visible and is therefore considered to have no effect on the conservation area. The council Building Regulations will cover the safety of the build. Party Wall agreements cover impact of the development on adjoining neighbours.”
