APPRAISAL

By full committee on …… 14 October 2026 …… with …… 2 …… members present

Issued on 14 Oct 2026

1. Positive support		2. No objection
3. Objection	X	4. Objection unless revised as below
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

The existing building is considered to be poor quality nondescript compared to its surroundings. The extension carries on in the style of the existing. It would be appropriate if the building could be completely redesigned to a standard more appropriate in quality to its surroundings.

The proposed landscaping appears to be ad hoc rather than reflecting a coherent approach. In one area a gambion wall is proposed which does not seem typical of the area. Elsewhere woven wooden fencing is proposed. Most seriously the Design and Access statement 04/page 5 states that a 1 in 9 ramp would be accessible whereas the maximum gradient to meet accessibility standards is 1 in 12. Therefore object to the proposed landscaping.
