5.1 SI/10/00086/FUL. 86 Fletchers Lane. Demolition of existing house and erection of replacement dwelling with associated garage and boundary wall.
Conclusion- objection by a vote of 7 to 1
The Council objected to:-
• The stark appearance of the structure, out of keeping in a road dominated by the ex- Land Settlement houses. The dominating features of a sombre rendered wall and a zinc roof would not fit or blend with the Fletchers Lane street scene. The design is not sympathetic to a rural setting.
• Curtilage delineated by a rendered wall rather than hedges.
Positive points:-
• Exciting concept to propose a modern design as a replacement house.
• Position back from the roadway to give space.
• The many energy saving initiatives.
• Concept of a house suitable for multi-generation family occupation.
