Representations made on planning applications following the meeting of the Planning Committee held on 2 December 2020:
SDNP/20/04079/HOUS: Erection of a two storey side and rear extension, and widening of existing driveway. 38 Highdown Road.
Friends of Lewes object to the overlarge extension proposed for an already extended semi-detached house. The Society considers the proposals represent an over-development of the site which unbalances the pair of semi-detached houses and would be detrimental to the existing streetscape. The pitch of the false pitched roof proposed does not match that of the existing roof. The extension of the area of block paving is unwelcome and if not porous will increase surface water run-off.
SDNP/20/04716/HOUS: Construction of a detached double garage to replace existing timber summerhouse and shed. 6 Park Road.
Friends of Lewes comments that any alterations to the existing driveway should be in porous materials. The Society supports the Design and Conservation comments that better accessibility to the garage should not be justification for further development.
SDNP/20/05034/HOUS: Demolition of existing garage, outbuilding and rear extension and construction of new single storey rear extension, two storey side extension, loft conversion with hip to gable conversion and new rear dormer and proposed relocation of vehicle crossover. 1 East Way.
Friends of Lewes object to the excessive size of the proposed single dormer in a very visible location on a corner plot. The Society would not object to two smaller dormers instead. Black timber cladding is considered inappropriate and natural wood cladding would be preferred. The proposed new driveway should be in porous materials.
SDNP/20/05080/FUL: Relocation and extension of the existing rear roaster flue. 18 Cliffe High Street.
Friends of Lewes object to the flue being extended to ridge level which will be very visible. A lower flue would be supported that terminates 600mm above the second-floor windows.
