It is considered that the proposal would not have a detrimental impact upon the amenities of nearby residential properties and will meet the criteria laid down in the policy. Members are recommended to grant planning permission subject to conditions. Reason for Reporting to Committee The views of the Town Council raise concern tantamount to an objection and the officer recommendation is one of approval. Site Description and Location This application relates to and existing HMO property (House in Multiple Occupation) within the settlement of Lytham St Annes. The converted town house is on the seaward side of St David’s Road South, St Annes in the block between the old telephone exchange (now BT premises) and the railway line end of Hove Road. This property is terraced being one of a group of four properties located south of Hove Road, on the westerly side. It is three storeys in height and is in use as a house in multiple occupation. These properties have rear wings (or annexes) either two or three storeys in height; this particular property has a rear annex of three storeys. The rear facades of the properties are set back and contain windows to serve the main body of the houses. The rear of these properties is tightly developed and is located at right angles to the rear of the properties fronting Hove Road. 3 Details of Proposal It is proposed to upgrade this property and a part of this proposal is one of adding a three-storey rear extension to the existing rear wing. The projection would be one metre depth and contain kitchen or kitchen/dining areas at each level. The extension would be faced in brick and incorporate a pitched roof. Relevant Planning History Application No. Development Decision Date 06/0514 THREE STOREY REAR EXTENSION Refused 02/08/2006 Relevant Planning Appeals History None Parish Council Observations St Anne's on the Sea Town Council (notified on 25 January 2007) Summary of Response Concerned about possible loss of light to adjoining building No details of bathroom facilities have been indicated for flat 2 Officer note: the floor layout is not shown in its entirety on the submitted plans and a bathroom is to be included in the accommodation. In any event, any lack of bathroom would be a matter for the Council's Housing authority and is not a material planning consideration. Statutory Consultees N/A Observations of Other Interested Parties None received Neighbour Observations Neighbours notified: by standard notification letter: sent and hand delivered to all occupiers of flats and houses in the 'L' shaped block No. of Responses Received: None Relevant Planning Policy Joint Lancashire Structure Plan: JS02 Main Development Locations Fylde Borough Local Plan: SP01 Development within settlements HL05 House extensions and incidental buildings Other Relevant Policy: 4 PPS1: Delivering Sustainable Development Environmental Impact Assessment This development does not fall within Schedule I or II of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 as amended. Comment and Analysis This property is presently used as an HMO and is in a poor state of repair both internally and externally. Under new ownership it is proposed to upgrade the units. This includes the provision of a one metre depth rear extension to the present rear wing of the property to produce a total projection of some 5.5 metres. It is not proposed to introduce new units but provide each one with additional floorspace. The rear of the properties are tightly spaced with rearward annex projections creating deep ‘well’ areas which serve windows to the adjoining properties. In addition, in this case, the rear wing has an impact on the properties contained within the corner of St. David’s Road South and Hove Road. The occupiers of the flats of the adjacent property that have a window on the rear elevation do not receive full sunlight to that window in the later part of the day because the outrigger of no. 50 (the element that would be extended) blocks some of the afternoon sunlight. The 1 metre projection increase would in effect, bring the sun light block-out time a little earlier. However the other half of the 'L' shaped block of the joined terrace building, the properties on the southeast side of Hove Road, blocks much of the late sun and the rear aspect for no. 52 has never been advantageous for the occupiers of those flats. This situation, together with the proposal's benefit of improving the housing stock is considered to result in a net acceptable development. The proposal projects from the building less than the previously refused application, an amendment which is considered to have overcome the previous reason for refusal. The new first floor window on the side elevation serving a lounge/kitchen for flat 4 could present an overlooking issue to the rear private amenity space of properties to the north / west (48 St David’s Road South, 14, 12 and 10 Hove Road in particular) and a condition of any planning permission is necessary to ensure that window is obscure glazed and fixed shut to protect the amenities of those residential properties from harmful loss of privacy to an undue extent.
