99-101 Clouds Hill Road Bristol PLANNING APPRAISAL
• The development would result in a significant improvement to the urban design of an area; or • The proposal is an extension to an existing single dwelling and would retain an adequate area of functional garden. In all cases, any development of garden land should not result in harm to the character and appearance of an area. 2.5 In this location, higher densities would be acceptable and the proposal will improve the character and appearance of the area. 3. OPPORTUNITIES The site is in an urban location which is suitable for residential redevelopment. The lack of any designations on the site as well as the fact that there is an existing residential use makes it a good site for redevelopment. There is excellent potential to improve the appearance of this site, which would be significantly beneficial to the surrounding area and is likely to be supported by the Council. The style of the house to the front of the site would need to be consistent with the adjacent terrace, however there would be more flexibility with the rear of the site as there are a variety of housing styles in the area. The site is a good size with scope for a new building at the front which could be converted with the existing house up to potentially 4 or 5 flats, subject to the relevant space standards being met, cycle parking and refuse storage. The large garden area to the rear of the property with access to Holmes Hill Road provides an opportunity for additional houses to be constructed, making a much more efficient use of the site. There is potential for at least two dwellings on the site. These would both have reasonable sized gardens and space for parking or garages.
