General Policy 2
Objection cites GP2(b),(c),(h),(i) requiring development to respect site/surroundings in scale/design/landscaping, provide safe access/manoeuvring/parking, and not harm highway safety. Design statement claims revised design addresses previous refusal under these policies by removing dormer/windows/cladding and providing vehicle tracking.
Housing Policy 15
Policy limits countryside extensions to 50% of existing floorspace externally unless exceptional; only permitted if respecting proportion/form/appearance. Objection notes 66.5% increase as 33% over limit (not 'marginal'); design statement justifies excess due to small existing cottage (116.3m² external vs typical 121m²), sympathetic design and sustainability.
Transport Policy 7
Requires 2 off-road parking spaces for dwellings. Access statement confirms provision for minimum 2 spaces; vehicle tracking demonstrates forward entry/exit with 2 cars parked.
Environment Policy 2
Previous refusal cited alongside GP2 for harm to Area of High Landscape/Coastal Value character. Design statement claims revised scheme contained in curtilage with traditional materials respects character.
The owners of Ballnalargy Beg (a neighbouring property) object to the planning application due to concerns over inadequate vehicle turning, parking, and highway safety resulting from the proposed extension encroaching on existing spaces.
Key concern: inadequate vehicle turning and parking leading to reversing hazards on steep shared lane and poor visibility at A27 junction
Ballnalargy Beg
ObjectionWe are therefore unable to support this planning application; For safety reasons, we feel it is very important that all vehicles entering and leaving the lane must be able to do so in a forward direction; This application (25/91181/B) declares an excess of 66.5% which is 16.5% over and above the Government 50% housing policy limit, and this is in reality a hefty increase of 33% over and above the 50% housing policy limit
