2.9.7 NPPF, Paragraph 200, states planning conditions should not be used to restrict
permitted development rights unless there is clear justification to do so.
2.9.8 The proposal relates to the demolition of disused outbuildings and the erection of a
detached dwelling and garage. The outbuildings are in a very poor state of repair,
being derelict and currently detract from the character and appearance of the
conservation area. The layout of the site proposes a detached two storey ‘v’
shaped dwelling with a small set back from the boundary onto Silver Street with a
detached double garage sited to the rear of the site.
2.9.9 In 2003 an application under reference CO/2003/0857 was granted for a dwelling of
the same layout, design and scale as that now proposed. Within the officer report
for that scheme it was noted that the dwelling was sited in a frontage position and
had been angled to take account of the site frontage shape which was considered
to be an acceptable layout reflective of the conservation area. In addition the report
noted that the fenestration details had been considered by the Conservation Officer
and included a simplified window pattern which was considered appropriate. It was
also noted that whilst the dwelling was to accommodate 4 bedrooms with two rooms
within the roofspace the footprint was not excessive, having dimensions of 7m deep
by approximately 14m length with a height of 5m to eaves and 8m to ridge height
and the design incorporated traditional features and design sympathetic to the
traditional dwellings within the locality. In terms of siting it was noted that this
reflected the traditional pattern of development and would not unduly dominate the
village green nor would it conflict with the Conservation status of the area of the
Riccall Design statement.
2.9.10 The approval of this application and the contents of the officer report are a material
consideration in determining this application. It is therefore considered that as the
current proposals are the same as those previously approved, albeit with a
reduction in the garage from a triple garage to a double garage and there have
been no significant changes to the site, its immediate surroundings or the
characteristics of the conservation area since the previous approval there would be
no justification to refuse this application on design grounds or the impact on the
conservation area.
2.9.11 In addition to the above the applicant has submitted a Heritage Statement which
recognises the important characteristics of the conservation area and takes account
of the impact of the proposals on the conservation area as a heritage asset in line
with NPPF guidance. In addition, a Method Statement for Archaeological
Recording has been submitted and the contents have been noted by North
Yorkshire Historic Environment Team who have recommended that a condition be
imposed that the proposals be carried out in accordance with the recommendations
set out within this document.
2.9.12 In line with the previous approval it would be recommended that permitted
development rights be removed for future extensions or outbuildings to ensure that
the development remains an appropriate design and layout taking account the
character of the conservation area.
2.9.13 Having taken the above into account it is considered that the proposed dwelling
would be of an appropriate design and appearance which would enhance the
