House extensions and garage annexe at Pipits, Curdridge, Southampton

“The proposal includes the demolition of the existing garage located to the north-west of the dwelling. A two-storey side extension is proposed to the north-west the property, measuring approximately 9.5 metres in width and 6.5 metres in depth. The extension would match the existing eaves height, with a slightly reduced ridge height, and feature a hipped roof on the north-western elevation. Materials would comprise roof tiles and render.”

“Additionally, a detached outbuilding is proposed within the front garden, near the southern corner of the site. This structure would be finished in timber cladding with a pitched tiled roof. At ground floor level, it would accommodate a three-bay garage, while the first floor would provide annexe accommodation. Three dormer windows are proposed on the north- western roof slope, and an external staircase would be positioned on the north-eastern elevation.”

“Pipits is a residential dwelling located within a generously sized plot on Chapel Lane in Curdridge. The application site comprises a detached dwellinghouse which sits centrally within the plot and a detached garage situated near the northwestern boundary. The land slopes gently upwards from the road, with the house being sited on higher ground than Chapel Lane. The application site falls outside of any defined settlement boundary.”
