Householder Application - (Retrospective) proposed rear facing first floor balcony with glass balustrade at 4 Bank Cottages, Swallow House Lane, Hayfield, SK22 2EY, (NP/HPK/0320/0249 - JK)

           

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

1.       Design grounds – The balcony causes significant harm to the valued character and appearance of the house and the terrace which are non-designated heritage assets.  In the absence of any exceptional or over-riding special circumstances to outweigh the harm identified, the proposal is contrary to development plan policies DMC3, DMC5, DMH7 and National planning policy in the NPPF as well as the Park Authority’s own supplementary design guidance.

 

2.      Amenity grounds – Use of the balcony results in a loss of privacy and amenity for neighbouring dwellings through overlooking as well as through

potential noise and disturbance.

 

3.     No evidence of compliance with Policy CC1 to take opportunities to reduce carbon usage in construction or offsetting to mitigate effects of climate change.
