Agenda item - BH2016/00954 - 3 Hove Street, Hove - Full Planning

Erection of orangery extension to rear.

RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Ward Affected: Central

Erection of orangery extension to rear.

(1)             The Planning Manager, Major Applications, Paul Vidler gave a presentation detailing the scheme by reference to site plans, elevational drawings and photographs showing the existing beer garden on which it was proposed the orangery would be erected. It was noted that the application site was a link-detached three storey property located on the eastern side of Hove Street in the Old Hove Conservation Area. Architecturally it was a good example of an early twentieth century public house with its design surviving intact and with its original use remaining.

(2)          The main considerations in determining the application related to the impact of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the existing locally listed property, the street scene and wider conservation area and any impact on the amenities of neighbouring properties. The building was in use as a public house and restaurant with a beer garden to the rear which could be used until 11.00pm. Amendments had been made during the lifetime of the application to address any concerns raised by neighbours regarding noise pollution. It was considered that the proposed extension would not harm the appearance of the property, the wider area or the amenities of adjacent occupiers and approval was therefore recommended.

(3)          Members had no questions and moved directly to the vote. A vote was taken and the 10 Members present at the meeting voted unanimously that planning permission be granted.

44.10  RESOLVED – That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in section 11 of the report and the policies and guidance in section 7 and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives set out in section 11.

            Note: Councillors Moonan and Morris were not present during consideration of the above application or when the vote was taken.
