Officer report

Why officers recommended approval

Officers considered the design, conservation area impact, residential amenity, parking, ecology and climate measures acceptable, subject to conditions.

“Overall, the application site itself is subject to limited public views, and as a result, the development is unlikely to cause any visual harm to the wider public realm. In addition, the development is of a creative and innovative design that would not create a dominant feature within the Conservation Area. Therefore, I would not consider the proposal to result in harm to the Stratford-upon-Avon Conservation Area.”

“The County Council Ecologist has been consulted on this application and has reviewed the Phase I Bat and Nesting Bird Survey carried out by Ridgeway Ecology. WCC Ecologist is satisfied the survey work has demonstrated that protected species are highly unlikely to be impacted by the proposed works to the dwelling and garage. The report prepared by Ridgeway Ecology does however include mitigation advice and measures.”
