Representations made on planning applications following the meeting of the Planning Committee held on Wednesday 6 September 2023:
SDNP/23/02551/HOUS: 1 Delaware Road: Ground floor side and rear extension and addition of rear dormer.
The Friends of Lewes object to the proposed large box design of the rear dormer, which does not comply with the agreed guidance on dormers. The Society also objected to the previous application which proposed a second large dormer to the front of the property. Although the Society appreciates that the amount of development proposed has been reduced, it still considers this application to be unacceptable.
(This response has not been submitted as the application was refused on the 06th September).
SDNP/23/02947/LIS: 50 High Street: Installation of 3 non-illuminated advertisements.
The Friends of Lewes object to the proposed sign on the east elevation in Station Street, as the materials proposed are contrary to the traditional sign written panels used throughout Station Street. The Society has no comment to make on the two signs in the High Street detailed in this application.
(This response has not been submitted as the application was approved on the 07th September).
SDNP/23/02976/HOUS: 41, Abinger Place: Addition of dormer to rear and two rooflights to front elevation.
The Friends of Lewes object to the proposed rear dormer, as it does not comply with the agreed guidance on the design of dormers.
(This response has not been submitted as the application was approved on the 08th September).
SDNP/23/03050/FUL: 562B High Street: S73A retrospective application for replacement of three timber double-glazed windows to rear with UVPC double glazed windows.
The Friends of Lewes do not support the use of UVPC windows in the Conservation Area, but notes that in this case none of the windows can be viewed from the public realm and that they were installed five years ago. In these circumstances, the Society would like to suggest that should this application be supported that there should be a planning condition that wooden windows should be reinstated at the earliest opportunity.
(This response has not been submitted as the application has been approved).
SDNP/23/03065/HOUS: 33 Mill Road: Erection of single storey outbuilding / annexe.
The Friends of Lewes have no objection to this proposal provided that its sole use is ancillary to the main building.
