House extension and garage at 63 Hainburn Park, Redford, Edinburgh

“The proposal seeks planning permission for the erection of a single storey extension to the rear of the property and changes to the existing rear elevation to install a new full height window and sliding doors. The extension and sliding doors will incorporate new steps leading down onto the existing patio which will be maintained at its current height.”

“The original drawings were amended to clarify the status of communal parking spaces within the side garden of the application site.”

“The site consists of a detached two storey dwellinghouse located on the southern side of a road junction within Hainburn Park. The surrounding area is entirely residential in nature and is characterised by similar style detached and semi-detached dwellinghouses.”

“04/04605/FUL 63 Hainburn Park Edinburgh EH10 7HJ Form single storey extension to rear of dwelling and alter fence, as amended. Granted 28 October 2005”

“The proposed extension will replace an existing conservatory which has established the principle of a single storey rear extension in this location as being acceptable. The proposed extension incorporates a flat roof, and a mixture of pre weathered timber cladding and glazing on its exterior elevations.”

“The upper section of the neighbouring garden to the west is currently screened from any direct views from the existing conservatory by hedging on the boundary and the existing rear garage. In order to ensure that any overlooking from the extension into the upper section of the neighbouring garden is suitably mitigated, the proposal has been amended to incorporate a 20-centimetre-high trellis feature be installed on top of the replacement 2-metre-high boundary fence adjacent…”

“Two objection comments and one support comment were received in respect of the proposal. A petition objecting to the proposal with 27 signatories was also received. The considerations raised in these representations are summarised below.”

“Proposal is contrary to local development plan policy Env 3, Env 4 and Env 33 - These development plan policies are not deemed by the planning authority to be applicable to the determination of householder planning applications.”

“25/02945/FUL - report by the Chief Planning Officer To GRANT planning permission, subject to the conditions, reasons and informatives as set out in section C of the report by the Chief Planning Officer.”

“The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date on which this permission is granted. If development has not begun at the expiration of this period, the planning permission lapses.”

“No development shall take place on the site until a 'Notice of Initiation of Development' has been submitted to the Council stating the intended date on which the development is to commence. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of planning control, under Section 123(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997.”
