Erection of a porch, replacement of existing uPVC double glazed windows with wooden sash windows, replacement of existing rainwater goods with moulded metal guttering to front elevation and installation of a dormer window to rear, insertion of a new window to first floor rear elevation and roof-lights to existing mono-pitch roof on ground floor rear extension.

1. The proposed rear dormer by reason of its scale, size, design and siting would result in a visually intrusive form of development, which would appear as incongruous and dominant roof features that would fail to relate appropriately to the host dwelling and would also have an adverse impact upon the streetscene of Station Road and the wider surrounding Netley Abbey Conservation Area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies S8, DM1, DM12 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016-2036); the Council’s Quality Places SPD (2011) and Netley Abbey Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals SPD (2010); and the contents of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021).
2. Note to Applicant: In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (July 2021), Eastleigh Borough Council takes a positive approach to the handling of development proposals so as to achieve, whenever possible, a positive outcome and to ensure all proposals are dealt with in a timely manner. In this instance the application has been refused as it is contrary to the relevant policies of the Local Plan and the planning harm was unable to be resolved in a timely manner.
