18 Church Lane Kings Worthy Winchester Hampshire SO23 7QS
Two storey side addition to semi-detached house at 18 Church Lane, Kings Worthy, SO23 7QS. This is a resubmission of planning reference 18/00724/HOU previously granted on 16/05/2018 and subsequently expired in 2021. The proposed works plans are resubmitted unchanged. 18 Church Lane is a mid-nineteenth century semi-detached cottage with brick and flint walls below a fully hipped slate clad roof. It is one of four similar properties (two pairs) built in above average sized gardens on the north east side of Church Lane, within the Kings Worthy Conservation Area. In recent years the other three cottages have been much extended with side and rear additions; notably the adjoining house No. 16. A conservatory was added to the rear of No.18 a few years ago. To the left of No.18 is a side garden some 11m wide. The boundary is formed by a high beech hedge and the adjacent cottage, No. 20 Church Lane, is thatched but with a large slate roofed extension; this property sits on slightly higher ground than No.18, which itself is a littler higher than the road. The proposal involves a side addition to the property of 39m2 internally, set back from the front wall to balance with the extension which already exists at No.16 Church Lane. The applicant needs more accommodation and the current gross internal floor area of the property is just 84m2 including the conservatory. The basic shape of the extension will match the original cottage with the same eaves level and a fully hipped roof. However, it will be subservient to the host building by being set back from the front wall by 3m and being of more simple design with plain brick rather than brick and flint walls. The brickwork will be carefully detailed with the painted timber windows to be set back behind the brick reveals, brick sub-sills and curved arches. The wide garden which currently exists gives a feeling of spaciousness. This feeling will not be lost since the extension is to be set well back from the building
