Comments by Parish Council

DC/21/2064

The Bull Pen, Eastlands Lane

Erection of a single storey side extension.

Cowfold Parish Council has no issues with this planning application.

DC/21/2404

Bracora, Henfield Road

Surgery to 1 Oak Tree.

Cowfold Parish Council accepts the advice of the tree surgeon provided in association with this planning application.

DC/21/2584

45 Barleycroft

 Erection of detached bungalow.

Cowfold Parish Council objects to this planning application as it believes the footprint of the extant property is not suitable to accommodate a second separate domicile. The erection of a two storey property is not in keeping with the immediate environment and will, in several cases, be overly proximate to the boundaries of two other extant dwellings, not including number 45 Barleycroft. Concerns have been raised by local residents, including the accuracy of the boundary lines given in the planning application, which also indicates work has already commenced, although no start date has been included.

DC/21/2247/8

Olde House, The Street

Retrospective application to repair and conversion of existing outbuilding including new link infill and internal alterations, new first floor window to west elevation, new door to north elevation and new brick wall within courtyard.  Rebuild of property’s stable roof. (Listed Building Consent)

Whilst taking a neutral stance in respect of DC/21/2247 Cowfold Parish Council wishes to register its dissatisfaction with the increasing number of retrospective planning applications being made locally, sometimes conflating extant build with additional modifications. The Parish Council strongly reiterates the need for prior planning application(s) before any additional or remodelling building work is undertaken.

 Outline application for the creation of a single dwelling with all matters reserved.
