| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed development will have a negative impact on the health of protected trees, through the need to excessively manage their size and shape in order to provide suitable clearance of the building and to provide access to acceptable levels of sunlight. This will lead to the long-term detriment of the site and a permanent loss of public amenity contrary to Local Plan Policies CS19 ‘Green Infrastructure’, CS20 ‘Biodiversity and Geodiversity and SP12’Development on Residential Gardens’.
02
The external garden areas of the development hereby proposed will be overly oppressed by the presence of existing tree canopies. Accordingly, the development would result in an unacceptable level of residential amenity within these area for future occupiers, contrary to the South Yorkshire Residential Design Guide and paragraph 130 of the NPPF.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
Whilst the applicant entered into pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority these identified that the level of development on the site was unclear due to site constraints. The application was submitted with additional information not included within the pre-app and the layout was amended through the application process however it is not possible to support the final scheme as submitted. The application as amended was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework of the Local Plan resulting in this refusal.
