16/00531*      Mr Guard – Wentworth Homes: Two detached houses with rooms in roof and integrated garages following demolition of existing dwelling at Lynwood Chase, Devenish Lane, Sunningdale, Ascot –  THE PANEL VOTED to REFUSE the application against the Borough Planning Manager’s recommendations for the following reasons:

Ø  Dwellings are large in bulk and mass, close to boundaries and would cause harm to the established Villas in a Woodland Setting townscape/character of the area and to the street. This would be further diminished with reduction in garden and space around dwellings which would reduce the sylvan outlook and cause harm to the character of the area along with future pressure to prune the tree due to shading of the first floor bedroom windows. The harm caused is significant and demonstrable contrary to Policy DG1 and H11 of the Local Plan and Policies DG1.1, 1.2, 1.16, 2.2, 3.1 and EN3 of the Neighbourhood Plan.

Four Councillors voted in favour of the motion to refuse (Cllrs Bateson, Evans, Hilton and Sharpe), and one Councillor voted against the motion (Cllr Beer).

(The Panel was addressed by Patrick Griffin (SPAE), Diana Tombs (NPDG) and Parish Councillor Michael Burn in objection to the application).
