Section 01
Development description
described as a single storey front extension.
Section 02
Decision
The appeal is dismissed.
Section 03
Main Issue
The main issue in this appeal is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.
Section 04
Reasons
The appeal site is a mid-terraced property significantly set back from the highway with intervening features such as a shed and mature landscaping screening the front of the property from the streescene to a degree. The appeal site is locate within the [name] of [site address] as identified in the [site address] Neighbourhood Development Plan 2020-2027 (the Neighbourhood Plan).
The uniformed façade of the terrace forms a rhythm to the built form of the area. The proposed design of the development would not complement the established architectural style of the terrace. Due to the harmony in built form of the terrace the modest extension would be prominent and incongruous, detracting from the character and appearance of the area.
Whilst the materials proposed are sympathetic to the surrounding area, the proposed development would be viewed from various public vantage points and despite the screening to the front of the property would be visually intrusive.
I understand the proposal before me is an amended scheme reducing the scale of the development from that previously dismissed at appeal1, nevertheless I find that the proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area. 1 APP/N2739/D/22/3310757
There is conflict with Policy ENV1, of the Selby District Local Plan (2005), Policies SP1, and SP19 of the Selby District Core Strategy Local Plan (2013), Policy CH2 of the Neighbourhood Plan which seek amongst other things that developments within the historic core are designed to respect and complement the original building and surrounding area.
There is conflict with the Framework which seeks amongst other things to ensure good design of developments.
Section 05
Other Matters
The appellant has highlighted that the proposed development is required due to the personal circumstances of the occupants. I have had regard to the comments raised. [name] sympathise with the situation, I have not been provided with demonstrable evidence to confirm that an alternative development could not be provided to meet the needs of the occupants.
Section 06
Conclusion
For the above reasons I conclude that this appeal should be dismissed.
