Recent Major Planning Appeals
Planning Appeal by Written Representations: Voyager House, 44 London Road, Staines-upon-Thames, TW18 4HF
Re: Construction of a single storey extension at roof level consisting of 2 no. self-contained residential units (Use Class C3), cycle parking and associated works. -24/00784/FUL - APP/Z3635/W/24/3357654
Decision issued 03 June 2025 - Appeal Allowed.
·
The planning application was refused by delegated decision on 17 September 2024 for the following reasons:
The proposed additional floor, by reason of its scale, location and design would have an unacceptable overbearing impact upon no.11, no.13 and no.15 New Street, and would result in unacceptable overlooking of the garden at no.29 Sidney Road. The proposal would not pay sufficient regard to the design of the host building and would fail to make a positive contribution to the character area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy EN1 of the Council's Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (February 2009) the Council's SPD on the Design of Residential Extensions and New Residential Development (April 2011) and the NPPF (December 2023).
