1950s Newport bungalow to be replaced with new home
In an application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, High Wycombe-based Mr and Mrs Shorrocks, through agent Harries Planning Design Management, sought permission for a replacement dwelling at New Court, Fishguard Road, Newport. A supporting statement said the current bungalow is 'is a circa 1950s post-war bungalow and is typical for its time, with limited renovations or modernisations,' adding: 'The dwelling is in poor overall condition, both internally and externally. There are all necessary connections to the dwelling. The property also has a small single detached garage in poor state of repair, with large overgrowth.' It went on to say: 'This application seeks full planning approval for a three-bedroom dwelling on site, with internal garage and detached garden shed/store. This replacement is sought to create a dwelling capable of modern habitation and to serve future generations and to create a single harmonious dwelling, instead of trying to retrofit additional living accommodation onto the original and trying to bring it up to modern regulations, which would create an inharmonious development, which would look unforgiving in its landscape. 'Further to this, the current dwelling has no cavity insulation with limited cavity width which will not allow for retrofitted insulation and makes the property prone to cold bridging. The existing layout is not suitable for modern living and does not provide an accessible dwelling. The proposed dwelling is in a similar position within the plot and comprises a one-and-a-half storey dwelling to match the surrounding dwellings. The orientation of the dwelling is to remain the same with identical ridge lines and access arrangements.' An officer report recommending approval said concerns were received about the height of the proposed dwelling, property boundary and overlooking. It added: 'Amended plans have been received during the course of the application to address the authority's concerns in relation to design, the impact upon amenity and light pollution and materials palette. 'The design of the proposal is now deemed to be acceptable, and it is deemed that there would be no significant impact in terms of amenity, the character or appearance of the immediate area, or the wider landscape.' The application was conditionally approved.
