18/02653/FULL*          Mr McDermott: Change of use/conversion and extension of existing mixed use office/residential building to provide 7 self-contained flats with associated parking to include electronic gates. Annexe Kingswick House Kingswick Drive Ascot.– THE PANEL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY to REFUSE the application against officer recommendations for the following reasons: The proposal represents an overdevelopment of the site due to the bulk and scale of the extensions and level of hard standing resulting in an overall poor design which would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area. The proposal fails to respond positively to the character of the area defined in the Council’s Townscape Assessment as Post War Suburbs. As such the proposal is contrary to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Local Plan Policies H10, H11 and DG1, Policies NP/DG1 and NP/DG2 of the Ascot and Sunninghill and Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan (2011-2026) and Paragraphs 127 and 130 of the NPPF.  Reference was also made to the fact that 80% of the available land would be developed which would be clearly at odds with the prevailing character of the area and that the proposal was more akin to a town centre development than an appropriate form of development expected to see in an area defined as Post War Suburbs.

 

The Panel were addressed by Mr Lee (objector), Mrs Hilton (Parish Council) and Mrs Jarvis (applicants representative).

 

The motion to refuse was proposed by Cllr Hilton and seconded by Cllr M Airey.

Winkfield Road Ascot SL5 7LJ – THE PANEL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY to APPROVE the application, subject to the conditions listed in the main report and update sheet, as per the Officer’s recommendation.

 

The Panel was addressed by Mrs Hilton (Parish Council) and Mr Harrison (applicant).

 

The motion to approve was proposed by Cllr Yong and seconded by Cllr Hilton.
