Section 01

Development description

proposed detached garage to front of bungalow currently under construction.

  1. Section 02

    Decision

    The appeal is dismissed.

  2. Section 03

    [name]

    The main issues are the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area.

  3. Section 04

    Reasons

    The appeal site is within a predominantly residential area, situated on the corner of [address] and [address]. Properties in the immediate area vary in terms of design and type.

    The corner plot has an open aspect and is prominent in the streetscene. I understand that the appeal property which is currently under construction is to benefit from off-road parking via a driveway to the front of the property.

    The proposed development would introduce a form of development in the area which despite the use of sympathetic materials, would be dominant and incongruous in the streetscene. The effect of the scheme would diminish unacceptably the character and appearance of the area.

    I find that the proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area. There is conflict with Policies SP23, LP56 LP57 of the Wakefield District Local Plan 2036 (2024) which seeks amongst other things that developments are of a high quality and appropriate to their location.

  4. Section 05

    Conclusion

    For the above reasons I conclude that this appeal should be dismissed.
