This pre-application enquiry seeks advice on the proposed conversion of an existing log cabin located within the rear garden of 87 Fletemoor Road into a single dwelling. The Highway Authority are unable to support the proposed development due to lack of parking.

87 Fletemoor Road is understood to be a 2-bed property and is currently only served with 1x off-street parking space. As such there is an established shortfall of parking at the property by 1x space, with the effects of such already experienced on the local network.

The creation of the new 1-bed dwelling would increase the parking demand at the overall site to 3x spaces, however there are no proposals to increase the level of parking provision available as part of this proposed development. The submitted Pre-app Report informs that as the on-street parking along Fletemoor Road is uncontrolled, the associated demand arising from the new dwelling could be accommodated on-street which is not accepted by the LHA.

The proposed development would intensify the use of the site without improving the level of off-street parking provision and would therefore result in additional overspill parking on the local network which would be unacceptable to the LHA.

However it is noted that whilst the pre-application description makes reference to the creation of a single dwelling, the Pre-app Report refers to the creation of an annexe instead. In this case, as the annexe would be considered as ancillary to the main dwelling and the increase in bedrooms at the site from 2 to 3 would not result in an increase to the level of parking demand (2x spaces), the LHA would not raise any in-principle objections to the proposals. A condition restricting the use of the annexe as ancillary to the main dwelling would be required to be attached to any formal consent.

The proposed development has been considered in accordance with the Councils current Development Plan Policies and having regard for the National Planning Policy Framework.

The Housing Delivery Team cannot support this application as it would result in accommodation well below the minimum size required.
