Single-storey wraparound extension at 11 Bowness Drive, Sale

“Retrospective application for erection of single storey front, side and rear extension…”

“Planning permission is sought for the erection of a single storey front, side and rear wraparound extension. It is to be noted that during the course of the application process building works commenced, with the proposed extensions now substantially complete.”

“The application site relates to a two-storey, semi-detached dwellinghouse sited on the western side of Bowness Drive, Sale. There is an existing loft conversion with separate side and rear dormer extensions. The property is surrounded by residential land uses on all sides. Off-street parking provision is provided by a driveway to the front of the property.”

“Members will recall that this application was deferred at the 9 October meeting of the Planning Committee to allow for the submission of revised plans to reflect the development that has been carried out on site, which was not in accordance with the submitted plans and to allow a re-consultation of neighbours before the application is considered by the Committee.”

“Planning application 101729/HHA/20 was previously approved in October 2020 for a hip to gable roof extension, extension of the existing rear dormer and erection of a single storey front, side and rear extension. That permission was never implemented and has now lapsed.”

“The front extension has a total width of 4.2m and projects 1.05m towards Bowness Drive from the front elevation of the original dwelling and the planned side extension. Given this proposed projection and design, the front extension is considered to be acceptable and not disproportionate to the host dwelling or the street scene. The side extension has a projection of 1.7m from the south elevation of the dwelling and a total depth of 12.1m.”

“It is therefore considered that the extensions and alterations are acceptable in design terms and do not have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the application site, the street scene or the surrounding area. As such, it is considered that the proposal complies with Policy JP-P1 of PfE and policies in the NPPF in relation to design.”

“The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning a part retrospective application for planning permission for the erection of single storey front, side and rear extension.”

“RESOLVED: That the application be deferred to allow for the submission of revised plans to reflect the development that has been carried out on site and to allow a re-consultation of neighbours to take place.”
