• 23 Telegraph Lane, KT10 0DT — 2020/0780 — PROPOSAL: First-floor front extension, roof canopy over entrance door, increase size of existing rear dormer window, front roof lights, solar panels, increase parapet wall on existing flat roof by 0.15m and alterations to fenestration. — COUNCIL RESPONSE: Refused by EBC.

EBC refused on the grounds that:

“The proposed first floor front extension would, by reason of its siting and design, result in an overly dominant and incongruous form of development that would be detrimental to and appear out of character with the street scene and the wider area.”

Appellant claims:

• same front extension has been carried out to No. 3 Telegraph Lane
• the extension has been designed to be subservient and sympathetic to the existing house, as described in the SPD document (PARISH COUNCIL PLANNING MEETING 5-JAN-21)

• 23 Telegraph Lane KT10 0DT — 2020/0780 — PROPOSAL: First-floor front extension, roof canopy over entrance door, increase size of existing rear dormer window, front roof lights, solar panels, increase parapet wall on existing flat roof by 0.15m and alterations to fenestration. — COUNCIL RESPONSE: Appeal dismissed

Appeal was dismissed in so far as it relates to the erection of a first floor front extension and roof canopy over the entrance door on the grounds that

• “Whilst many of these properties have had small porches added at the front and additions within the side roof slopes, to a large degree they retain their original unity and symmetry by virtue of the prominent street-facing gables. The gables are a key characteristic of the group of properties and the street scene and therefore a matter to which I attach significant weight. The proposal would include a first floor front extension above the porch. This would feature a half-timbered gable and extend forward of the main gable. As a consequence of its height and forward projection this addition would be an overly dominant and incongruous element that would disrupt the symmetry of the appeal property and its attached neighbour and compromise the unity of the group of properties.”
• “Whilst I note that this is similar to the appeal proposal, No.3 is set back from the road more than the group of houses of which the appeal property forms part and Nos 1 and 3 do not form a symmetrical pair. There is also no evidence before me that planning permission for the front addition at No.3 was granted under the current development plan. As each planning application and appeal must be considered on its individual merits having regard to its particular context and current planning policy, I attribute limited weight to the front addition at No.3.”

Appeal was allowed in respect of the increase in the size of the existing rear dormer window, the installation of front roof lights and solar panels, an increase to the parapet wall on existing flat roof by 0.15m and alterations to the fenestration. (PARISH COUNCIL PLANNING MEETING 5-JAN-21)
