should be attached to these policies as they are broadly consistent with
the aims of the NPPF to protect residential amenity.
2.8.2 The site has neighbouring properties to the north and south. These
properties consist of two storey brick detached properties. The
neighbouring property to the south is located at an angle to the site.
The closest point of this dwelling would be sited 6 metres from the
nearest point of the dwelling and 10 metres at the furthest point The
proposed dwelling would be sited 2 metres from the host property. The
northern elevation of the host property is blank. Both side elevations of
the proposed dwelling contain secondary windows serving rooms such
as a bathroom and utility which are likely to be fitted with obscure
glazing and this could be a subject of a condition should the application
be recommended for approval.
2.8.3 The property to the south appears to have a kitchen window in the
southern elevation. Large conifers mark the boundary of the site
between the two properties. It is considered that due to the existing
conifers this window would experience some overshadowing and it is
not considered that the proposal would significantly add to this. It is
also considered that a satisfactory standard of residential amenity
would remain for the host property subject to the condition mentioned
above
2.8.4 In terms of its impact on residential amenity, it is considered that the
proposal is in accordance with Policies ENV1 (1) and H6 (2) and (3) of
the Local Plan
2.9 Impact on Highway Safety
2.9.1 Policies ENV1(2), H6(3), T1 and T2 of the Local Plan require
development to ensure that there is no detrimental impact on the
existing highway network or parking arrangements. These Local Plan
policies should be afforded significant weight as they are broadly
consistent with the aims of the NPPF to foster good design.
2.9.2 The application seeks full consent for the erection of 1 dwelling the
plans show an area of hardstanding to the front of the property .Access
will be gained to the dwelling via Selby Road from where a private drive
will be created for the dwelling.
2.9.1 North Yorkshire County Council Highways Officers have considered
the proposals in relation to the parking provision, access and impact on
the existing highway network and have not raised any objections
subject to the inclusion of conditions. The proposals are therefore
considered acceptable and are in accordance with Policies ENV1(2),
H6(3), T1 and T2 of the Selby District Local Plan.
