Agenda with Maps and Applications (21Mb) - pdf - Selby District ...

• The proposal places a property out of line with existing neighbouring
houses. This, combined with the narrow frontage would sit awkwardly
and result in a detrimental change to the character of the street.
• The plot is too narrow to allow for provision of storage or garage space.
• There is a restricted covenant on the land registry.
• The proposed two storey dwelling is not in line with neighbouring
properties and would overshadow our back garden as it is sited close
to our back garden boundary. There would be decreased light to our
rear sitting room which has patio doors opening onto a paved area.
• In addition, windows of the proposed dwelling’s front elevation would
potentially overlook the dining room window to our side elevation
resulting in a loss of privacy to a main habitable room.
