PROFESSIONAL PLANNING APPRAISAL
2.2 The office/workshop strikes a contemporary appearance, having been upgraded following the granting of planning consent (for the current office/workshop use) in September 2018. Permission ref. 18/03467/F 1 allows domestic use of the building, but ancillary to the occupation of No.220a. Further planning permission is required were the building to be used for main non-incidental accommodation, i.e., additional bedrooms, living space, kitchen, and also if it were to be used as a self-contained dwelling, separate from No.220a.
2.3 This PPA considers the potential for it use as a self-contained dwelling.
2.4 It is noted that the site is not within a Conservation Area, affected by Listed Buildings, subject to Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), and it is at low risk from flooding (Flood Zone 1). 3. OPPORTUNITIES 3.1 The site is well located in terms of access to local shops, services, and public transport routes. The residential character of the area and its accessibility should ensure that the Council accept the location as one where additional residential development can be supported. 3.2 Recently, and directly to the south of the office/workshop across the access lane, a planning application, ref.22/00587/F 2 , has been submitted seeking the erection of a dwelling. At the time of writing, the application remains under consideration, but has been well received by the Council (Stokes Morgan Planning provided the supporting Statement for the Applicant). 3.3 Given the location of the site and the positive assessment received on the site directly across the lane from the office/workshop; it is a clear opportunity that residential development along the lane, in land-use terms, is something that can be supported by the Council. Seeking a change of use of the office/workshop should by-pass the normal assessment of new-build dwellings, in terms of their scale, mass, appearance, and location relative to other buildings (in a townscape sense).
