Temporary timber cabin at The Old Laundry Biddesden Bottom Road, Redenham, Andover

“PROPOSAL 3.1 The application seeks temporary permission for a timber cabin to be located in the rear garden of the fire damaged dwelling.”

“SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION 2.1 The application site is located within the countryside approximately 440 metres from the Appleshaw Conservation Area.”

“The application site is comprised of a fire damaged dwelling, residential garden, driveway and residential outbuildings.”

“HISTORY 4.1 25/01914/CLPN - Construct temporary hard standing and mobile accommodation. Withdrawn 07.11.25.”

“The proposal is to provide temporary accommodation whilst the main house is rebuilt. It is considered reasonable that the applicants live on site whilst works are undertaken. The existing dwelling is in the countryside. It is therefore considered essential that the temporary accommodation is located in the countryside.”

“A condition can be imposed to ensure that the cabin is temporary, and that it is removed once the dwelling is re-occupied, or when the temporary permission expires, whichever is sooner. Three years is considered to be an appropriate length of time for the temporary permission in connection with the restoration of the existing dwelling.”

“Impact on amenity By virtue of the size (bulk and mass) and design of the proposed cabin and its juxtaposition relative to the neighbouring property, the proposals would not give rise to an adverse impact on the living conditions of the neighbouring property by virtue of loss of daylight or sun light, and would not be overbearing.”

“Impact on parking provision and highway safety The existing dwelling has three bedrooms and there is sufficient room within the site for the parking of two cars. The proposed cabin would be sited within the existing rear garden of the dwelling and would not impact the existing driveway. A condition can be imposed to ensure that the cabin is temporary, and that it is removed once the dwelling is re-occupied, or when the temporary permission expires, whichever is sooner.”

“CONSULTATIONS 5.1 Trees: No objection subject to conditions.”

“No definition of how long ‘temporary’ is. • No planning application has been made to refurbish the existing dwelling. • The existing dwelling is a dangerous structure. • The existing dwelling is an eye-sore. • Slates and debris regularly fall onto the neighbouring property. • The product information for the cabin for 25/01914/CLPN indicates it is designed for permanent use. • Building Control supervision will presumably be required for electricity, water and sewage.”

“Four letter of objection have been received from Dovecot, Rosslyn Cottage, Westwood and an unknown address and are summarised as follows: • The property has not been inhabited since July 2022. • No planning application has been made to refurbish the existing dwelling. • Roof tiles have fallen onto the neighbour’s driveway. • The existing dwelling is a dangerous structure.”

“The motion as set out in the agenda and update paper was proposed by Councillor Budzynski and seconded by Councillor Z Brooks. Upon being put to the vote the motion was carried.”

“TEMPORARY PERMISSION subject to: The temporary accommodation hereby permitted shall be fully removed from the site and the land restored to its former condition on or before the expiry of three years from the date of this permission, or within 1 month of first occupation of the dwelling known as The Old Laundry after its restoration, whichever shall first occur.”

“The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out except in complete accordance with the details shown on the submitted plans, numbers: • Location Plan received 10.11.25 • Block Plan received 10.11.25 • Proposed Floor Plan received 10.11.25 • Proposed Front and Side Elevations received 10.11.25 • Proposed Rear and Side Elevations received 10.11.25 • Section A received 10.11.25 Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning. 3.”
