Planning Applications

ADDRESS: 5 Langbourne Way APPLICATION NUMBER: 2025/0486 PROPOSAL: Two-storey side extension with front canopy roof following demolition of existing detached garage. CPC VERDICT: No Objections. With Comments. We request that the Officer in charge of this application confirms that it has adequate separation from neighbouring properties. EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission. The proposed two-storey side extension, by reason of the lack of sufficient set in from the common boundary would result in a bulky, disproportionate, visually intrusive and domineering form of development that would substantially harm the form, proportion and appearance of the host dwelling, relationship with the attached dwelling and uniform properties along the road it forms a part to, character and appearance of the area and visual amenities of the streetscene. As such, it is considered that the development would fail to comply with Policies CS11 and CS17 of the Core Strategy (2011), Policies DM1 and DM2 of the Development Management Plan (2015) alongside the Elmbridge Design Code (2024).

Historical Notes

In February 1936, Green Farm was sold to Tom Knights of the Foley Arms as principal purchaser for £6,000, with Davis Estates Limited as sub-purchaser until they subsequently became the main owner. A few houses were built in the late 1930s along the east side of Telegraph Lane, but it was not until the 1950s that Davis Estates of Kilburn, London, proceeded to develop the housing estate that now comprises Langbourne Way and Crediton Way. Most of the semi-detached houses with garages on this estate were built in 1954 and 1955 and were sold for about £3,000 each.
