Due to being located within a conservation area and being located on a claassified road, it is understood that planning permission is required for the removal of part of the front wall of the property to facilitate a drive way. The following is a description of the works. The existing parking space and vehicle crossover are located at the rear of the property. Although functional, this arrangement requires vehicles to enter an area used as part of the family garden, creating an additional safety concern due to the presence of young children. The proposal would relocate the parking space to the front of the property and create a new vehicle crossover, as shown on the accompanying plans. The existing rear parking area would then be returned to garden use, and the rear vehicle gates removed. The redundant crossover could be reinstated as footway and kerb, potentially allowing this section of the street to contribute to the existing Controlled Parking Zone, subject to the Council’s requirements. These works will require the front wall of the property to be partly demolished to provide vehicle access. The proposed front parking space would use a permeable surface, such as gravel, to support sustainable drainage and reduce surface-water runoff. The design also incorporates new shrub and herbaceous perennial planting, selected to provide food and habitat for pollinators and birds. The previous owners of the property carried out unsympathetic tree works that have left the Taxus baccata misshapen and visually unappealing. It no longer contributes positively to the character of the property or the surrounding conservation area. This is to be removed (a separate application for "Tree works: Trees in conservation areas/subject to TPOs" has been made for this. A new native tree (E.g. Rowan - Sorbus aucuparia) would be planted to replace the existing Taxus baccata. Together with the additional planting, this would enhance the biodiversity, seasonal interest and overall appearance of the front garden, helping the development make a positive contribution to the character of the street.
