Planning Application Submitted in Hedge End, Southampton: Development of a rear garden plot for a single bungalow.

Studio Homer is pleased to have begun the planning process to develop a back garden plot within the Eastleigh Borough Council local authority area.

The proposed development consists of a single 2-bedroom bungalow in keeping with the building within the street.

A proposal (by the applicant’s previous agent) to develop the back garden plot was previously refused. Eastleigh Borough Council’s local planning authority refused the proposal for a lack of consideration of the surrounding context, the character of the area, or providing adequate amenity space. In response, our proposal reconfigured the layout of the site to mimic the street pattern of the area. A light study was provided along with an amenity calculation to demonstrate that the proposal was in line with local policy guidance. The proposed plans were submitted with a design and access statement to outline to the local planning authority the considerations taken for the proposed development.

The proposal has now been submitted to Eastleigh Borough Council for their approval.
