First-floor rear extension at 48 Titchfield Road, Stubbington, Fareham

“Introduction 1.1 This application is reported to the Planning Committee as it has been submitted by an employee of Fareham Borough Council.”

“Description of Proposal 3.1 Planning permission is sought for the erection of a first-floor rear extension which measures 3.4 metres in depth, 8 metres in width with an eaves height of 4.2 metres and ridge height of 6.6 metres.”

“Site Description 2.1 This application relates to a semi-detached dwelling on the east side of Titchfield Road. The dwelling is a locally-listed building (a non-designated heritage asset on the Council’s list).”

“Having regard to the above, Officers are of the view that the design is acceptable, and the proposal would comply with Policies D1 & HE5 of the Fareham Local Plan 2037.”

“Summary 8.9 The proposed development is considered by Officers to be acceptable and would not have an unacceptable adverse impact on the surrounding neighbouring properties. The proposals would preserve the character and appearance of the area. The development is considered to comply with Policies D1 and D2 of the Fareham Local Plan 2037.”

“Conservation Planner (Fareham Borough Council) 7.2 The proposal is for a first-floor extension over the existing flat roof ground floor on the rear elevation. Currently the ground floor extension has a very simple design, but the flat roof is not sympathetic to the character of the main house which features a pitched roof.”

“The proposed extension would feature a dual pitched roof, with pitched roof dormers facing front and rear, which would be subservient to the roof slope. The existing chimney stacks would remain externally, which would retain the character of the locally listed building. It is proposed that the new materials are matching with the existing house.”
