Application No.
Location and Description
12/00882 (Full and Amended)
The Chalet, Ravensdale Road, Ascot, SL5 9HJ
Proposed detached dwelling with integral double garage following demolition of existing dwelling
Recommendation: Objections. The committee considered the proposal to be excessive in scale and bulk. Therefore it was out of keeping with the street scene H11 and contrary to the Townscape Assessment.
12/01019 (Full)
South Grange, Manor St Marys Road, Ascot, SL5 9JE
Single storey side extension
Recommendation: No Objections provided the Borough’s Tree Officer was satisfied.
12/01066 (Full)

Rear dormer
Recommendation: No Objections.
12/01112 (Full)

Recommendation: No Objections.

Certificate of lawfulness to determine whether a proposed use of the garage as
habitable accommodation is lawful
No Recommendation Required.
12/01179 (Full)

Single storey front extension
Recommendation: No Objections.
12/01233 (Full)
Cedar Lodge, Bagshot Road, Ascot, SL5 9LJ
Construction of 2 detached houses following demolition of existing bungalow
Recommendation: Objections. The committee considered the aggregate affect of four properties in a row was out of keeping with the area, would adversely affect the street scene and was therefore contrary to the Townscape Assessment. The proposal was considered to be cramped, dominant and represent an overdevelopment of the site. It would result in the loss of boundary greenery in an area that backed onto the Green Belt. Furthermore the committee considered the entrance onto the site to be dangerous and would not allow for adequate emergency and service vehicle access. The proposed drive was over the root protection zone of protected trees and no tree report had been submitted with the application.
12/01237 (Works to Trees Covered by TPO)
Land at Windrush, Hancocks Mount, Ascot
