This pre-application enquiry seeks advice on the proposed construction of 1x, 4-bed dwelling with detached garage at the above-mentioned site. The Local Highway Authority (LHA) would not wish to raise any in-principle objections to the proposed development.

The proposals were subject of a previous pre-application enquiry, in response to which the LHA made no objections but advised that further details demonstrating suitable access to the new proposed dwelling should be provided via tracking plans. Such information has been included as part of this application.

Whilst the tracking plans appear to demonstrate that a vehicle would be able to undertake a sweeping 'u' turn movement to access the property in a forward gear, it considered likely that residents would instead choose to reverse into the property. As the site is located within private land and therefore such movements would take place off the public highway in an area where vehicular movements would be low and slow, the LHA would not raise any in-principle objections to the proposed access arrangement. In addition, the 1.8m high boundary fence to the south of the site stops short of the access and so sufficient levels of inter-visibility appear to be provided.

With regard to off-street parking provision, the LHA would not consider the proposed integral garage as a positive contribution to the parking supply at the property as it falls short of the required internal dimensions as detailed within the SPD (6.5m long and 3.5m wide). However, the garage would be suitable to accommodate the cycle parking requirements as detailed within section 8 of the SPD.

It would appear that the proposed detached garage would be able to accommodate at least 1x parked car. In addition, there is sufficient space within the hardstand to provide additional parking to the levels required in the SPD for a property of this size (3x spaces). Therefore, it is considered that the off-street parking requirements can be suitably met.

As advised in the LHA's response to the previous pre-app, EV charging provision will also be required in accordance with the levels and standards detailed within the SPD. In addition, due to the close proximity of Compton Primary School, a Construction Traffic Management Plan and Highway Dilapidation Survey may be required if planning permission were to be granted. It is likely that restrictions would be placed on any construction movements to ensure these take place outside of school drop-off/pick-up times.

As stated above, the site is located within and takes access from private land. For this reason, the applicant will need to demonstrate that they have access rights over the adjacent private land and the access will need to be included within the red line of any Site Location Plan submitted as part of a formal planning application.


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