- 1 Hermitage Close, KT10 0HH: ZOOPLA ESTIMATE £1,094,000 AS AT 13-FEB-21 — LAST SOLD: AUG-12 FOR £675,000
- 1 Hermitage Close — 2020/2885 — PROPOSAL: Two-storey front extension, two-storey rear infill extension, single-storey side extension and hip-to-gable roof extension with rear dormer windows following demolition of existing side projection. — COUNCIL RESPONSE: no objection
One member of the public spoke citing that the planning application had been improved since its 2019 submission. However, they still had three concerns namely loss of light source, loss of privacy and planning inconsistency. They felt the development was overbearing. They welcomed a site visit and a topological survey and would like validation that the planning policy light rules had been met. They had concerns that the size and position of the dormers would mean that they would lose privacy within their patio and lawn. They raised that their own planning application in 2016 had received a comment from CPC stating that their own dormer required obscured glass and non-opening to protect
the privacy of 1 Hermitage Close.
A further member of the public spoke citing that the proposed three dormers would look directly into their garden and as such they would also incur loss of privacy. They suggested alternative solutions like Velux (similar to neighbouring properties) or obscured, non-opening set back windows in the dormers. This would be consistent with 3 Common Road planning application awarded with these requirements back in 2016. A final member of the public spoke stating that the Parish Council had not objected to the dormers in the prior planning application in 2019. Pre-application advice received stated that the picture window in neighbouring property is north facing so would not affect light
entry, the development would not be affecting privacy of neighbours and that the dormers would not alter their privacy and that a neighbouring property has already got a large dormer window with balcony.
Claygate Parish Council voted to submit a no objection but to add a comment regarding the consideration of obscured glass in the dormer windows to preserve neighbour privacy. The
Committee informed residents that they can make their comments directly with EBC via their website on all planning applications. (PARISH COUNCIL PLANNING MEETING 3-DEC-20)
