South Downs National Park Planning in Easebourne
Upperfield, Easebourne
Householder planning permission secured for the erection of a detached double-bay garage to serve this residential property located in the heart of the South Downs National Park.
The biggest challenge for this scheme was to build a case for introducing a detached outbuilding a significant distance from and well forward of the property principal (front) elevation - when adopted planning policy permitted outbuildings to only be located either to the side or rear of dwellings.
The scheme also demanded that adequate protection was given to the roots and canopy of a mature tree specimen that was located on the neighbouring plot. The planning permission will provide the homeowner with a previously unmet need for secure and covered storage for vehicles.
