Application 2015/93052, Fenay Lodge, Thorpe Lane, Almondbury, Huddersfield pdf icon PDF 467 KB

The Planning Sub Committee will consider the grounds for refusal of Application 2015/93052, erection of detached dwelling and new entrance gates (listed building) at Fenay Lodge, Thorpe Lane, Almondbury, Huddersfield.

 

Contact – Adam Walker, Planning Officer

Decision:

That the Secretary of State be informed that this Authority would have been minded to refuse planning permission on the grounds that:

 

(1) The proposed dwelling, by virtue of its siting, scale and design, would harm the setting of the listed building (Fenay Lodge) by substantially reducing the curtilage of the building and introducing a form of development  to the site that fails to sustain the significance of the designated heritage asset. The development is therefore contrary to Policy BE1 criteria I of the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and to chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

(2) The proposed dwelling, by virtue of its proximity and scale, would harm the amenity of 21 Dartmouth Avenue by having an overbearing and dominant impact on the main private garden space belonging to this neighbouring property and by introducing a form of development that would detrimentally affect the outlook at the rear of number 21. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D2 criteria v of the Kirklees Unitary Development Plan and guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.
