Decision made at Eydon Parish Council on 11 November 2025 –

Planning Application – 2025/4225/FULL

 

Eydon Parish Council objects to the planning application for a detached garage on the site.

The proposal is for a detached double garage sited in the front of the property under construction.
It is the Parish Council view that this proposed garage will have an unacceptable impact on the street scene. It will also be constructed way in front of any building line on this side of the Moreton Road.

The Parish Council wish to also point out that under the planning application for the main house 2024/3534RM the last version withdrew such a garage from the application.

We refer to the minutes of the West Northamptonshire Planning meeting on the 6th March where the reserved matters were decided.

Extracted below :

Minutes of 6 March 2025 planning.

The first mention –

2.2 The scheme proposed a generous four-bedroom house set across two storeys. It initially proposed the erection of a detached garage located forward of the proposed dwelling, which has now been omitted from the scheme.

The second mention –

2.7 Amended plans were submitted reducing the height of the proposed development, and omission of the detached garage to be in keeping with the neighbouring property and street scene.  A Unilateral Undertaking would be completed prior to determination as conditioned in the outline planning permission.

The Third mention –

2.8 As aforementioned, the scheme initially proposed a detached garage located along the front elevation however this element has been omitted.

Recording of meeting –

We would also point out that in the discussion of the original application at around 39 /40 minutes in the recording – Nathan Laude (Development Planning Team Leader) refers to the proposed garage being omitted from the application as the planners had asked for it to be removed as they were concerned about the impact on the street scene of a Detached garage in the site.

So our view is that if it was a concern to the planners then – just 7 months ago and was removed the impact on the street scene is exactly the same now and therefore this new proposal is also unacceptable in its own right. We would add there is no equivalent detached garage anywhere in the Village.

We also contend It will be constructed way in front of any building line on this side of the Moreton
Road.
