Two storey side extension and raising of ridge to form habitable accommodation with dormers within roof space (Resubmission of H/24/97714)

1. The proposed alterations and extensions, by reason of their mass and scale, would increase the height and elongate the building, thereby failing to respect the established character of the modest bungalows in this section of Thorold Road. The prominent location of the property exaggerates the visual impact, resulting in harm to the street scene and the character of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DM1 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan (2016-2036), the Character Area Appraisals (Chandler's Ford and Hiltingbury Character Areas – Kingsway) (2008), and the contents of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).
2. Note to Applicant: The application was refused following the assessment of the following plans: 01_B01_H and 02_A. In accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023), 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.
