      There has been a series of planning applications that led to the granting of permission for a new house in a gap site at 42 Grange Road.  This was the subject of a thread on the Grange Association’s old website and a transcript of that thread is available here.  The applications culminated in a further variation application 21/04296/VARY, removing the proposed entrance to the existing upstairs flat at No 42. This facilitated the reunification of the ground floor and first floors at Nos 44 and 42 into a single villa (no 44), with the new property to the East forming a separate house in the gap site, now adopting the street address 42 Grange Road.  That variation application included a vehicle run-in, with a 3.5m entrance, to the West of the site, with the remainder of the frontage restored to soft landscaping.

      There is now a further variation application, 21/04296/VAR3.  This seeks to retain the original vehicle run-in opening and to pave over much of the frontage for parking, with ‘porous monobloc pavers’.

      The Grange Association has submitted this objection.

        The Non-Material Variation application was rejected on 14 December 2023.  The Case Officer noted:

        “The proposed variation would introduce a new electronic gate and make amendments to the boundary treatment which were not considered as part of the original application. This raises new material considerations in respect of design and impact on the character and appearance of both the conservation area and the immediate surrounding area. Taking this into consideration, the proposed variation is material and therefore not acceptable. A full planning application would be required.”

          There is now a full planning application seeking permission for the same proposals as were set out in the application for a Non-Material Variation.  This is available for review at 23/07456/FUL. The proposals still include retention of the original vehicle run-in opening and to pave over much of the frontage for parking, with ‘porous monobloc pavers’.  Comments can be submitted on the Council’s planning portal until 2 February 2024.

          The Grange Association has submitted this objection.

          Application 23/07456/FUL was granted on 19 February 2024.
