Report: See pages 13 – 25 of the agenda and the addendum report

PROPOSAL

New single storey garden building with basement to replace existing garage.

The community council heard an officer’s introduction to the report and members asked questions of the officer.

Members heard representations from an objector and the applicant. Members asked questions of both parties.

There were no local supporters or ward members who wished to speak.

Members debated the application and asked questions of the officers.

RESOLVED:

1. That planning application 11-AP-3907 be refused on the grounds that the proposed development would create an undesirable precedent for large buildings in rear gardens which would make it difficult to resist further similar applications, the cumulative impact of which would cause harm to the open and semi-rural character and appearance of this part of the Dulwich Village Conservation Area. 

2. That the planning application would be contrary to saved policies: 3.12 'Quality in design', 3.13 'Urban design', 3.15 'Conservation of the historic environment', 3.16 'Conservation areas' and 3.18 'Setting of listed buildings, conservation areas and world heritage sites' of the Southwark Plan 2007, the Dulwich Village Conservation Area Appraisal (February 2006) and Strategic Policy 12 Design and Conservation of the Core Strategy, and guidance in PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment.
