aspect of sustainable development, is indivisible from good planning,
and should contribute positively to making places better for people.
2.7.3 Paragraphs 60, 61 and 65 of the NPPF make it clear that decisions
should not attempt to impose architectural styles or particular tastes
and should not stifle innovation, originality or initiative through
unsubstantiated requirements to conform to certain development forms
or styles, should address the connections between people and places
and the integration of new development into the natural, built and
historic environment and proposals should not be refused for buildings
which promote high levels of sustainability because of concerns about
incompatibility with an existing townscape, if those concerns have been
mitigated by good design.
2.7.4 NPPF, Paragraph 200, states planning conditions should not be used
to restrict permitted development rights unless there is clear
justification to do so.
2.7.5 It should be noted that in the consideration of application reference
8/42/112B/PA that the erection of a detached dwelling the same design
as proposed in this instance was considered to be appropriate.
2.7.6 The character of the area in which the site is located varied with a
mixture of house types which vary in size and scale there are both
bungalows and houses within the area. However there is one common
theme in that the existing properties are all detached. There are also
properties in close proximity to each other. The site is positioned
between 2 dwellings of an exact design with the dwelling to the south
positioned diagonally to the application site. The dwellings are
constructed from grey brick with concrete roofs set back from the road
by 9 metres.
2.7.7 The application proposes a detached property of a similar scale and
size to the immediate properties measuring 7 metres in height. The
property would be sited in line with the neighbouring property and due
to the characteristics of this area would not dispute the character of the
area. It is considered that subject to a condition requiring samples of
materials to ensure they would fit in with the immediate properties. A
new dwelling in this location would be acceptable and would respect
the character of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be
acceptable in terms of its siting, design and layout and would accord
with criteria 1 of H6 of the Selby District Local Plan.
The proposal is therefore considered acceptable and inline with policy
H6 of the Selby District Local Plan.
2.8 Impact on Residential Amenity
