2) The parking provision for four apartments is in accordance with the WBC requirements. However given the infrequent public transport services in Haslemere and lack of local employment there is a strong possibility that this proposal will generate more parking space requirements. On street parking in support of local retail and other businesses and residences is particularly inadequate in this location and the off street parking as shown will result in the loss of two street parking spaces. Visitor and service vehicle parking to the apartments will certainly increase the local street parking demand. These problems are symptomatic of over development of the site and are referred to further in 3) below. If it could be negotiated, a revised scheme layout with parking access off the Church car park entrance would be a considerable improvement. 3) We do not consider that the requirements of The Haslemere Design Statement have been adequately addressed including :- ‘’ vehicular access to individual properties should be designed to enhance the street scene,-- encourage the incorporation of landscaping into parking provision. Doors and porches should be similar to those in the neighbourhood.’’ etc 4) More information is required on the external building materials such as balustrading, tiles, bricks, door and window specifications. The detail and specification of the prominent roof gablets needs to be confirmed. 5) The drawing shows the current scheme closer to the road than the previous one and it also refers to the existing front hedge being replaced if possible. The parking arrangement makes this impossible. This is not in accordance with the Haslemere Design Statement. 2
