ANNEX 1 - PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED - APRIL 2015

15/01597/FU | Detached four bedroom house with integral garage | Land To Rear Of Windrush College Farm Lane

Linton Wetherby LS22 4HR

Objections

1.       The development is not in accordance with the context of the area and therefore is non-compliant with paragraph 6.3 of the Village Design Statement (VDS).

2.       The plots forming the College Farm residential development are all similar size. Adding a new dwelling in the garden does not respect the prevailing density of dwellings and is therefore non-compliant with paragraphs 6.5 and 6.8 of the VDS.

3.       The proposed development has an unacceptable impact on local amenity and is therefore again non-compliant with paragraph 6.5 of the VDS.

4.       The Linton Neighbourhood Development Plan has been submitted to Leeds and is about to start the Regulation 16 consultation process. This Plan can now be given some weight. The proposed development is non-compliant with Policies A1a, A1c, A1e, A1f and A1g.


15/01854/FU | Two storey and first floor rear extension | 13 Garth Avenue Collingham Wetherby LS22 5BJ

Objections

            1. Existing walls are rendered with pebbledash finish and stone plinth. The plinth is higher at side than the rear
             2. The new wall of the extension on the side (south east) elevation should reflect this (VDS; 6.13 and 6.14)
             3. This wall should also be set back from the original (VDS; 6.9) to avoid damage to the original render and  show a clean break between new and existing
             4. Unsightly flue on side (south east) elevation

15/01737/FU | Single storey side/rear extension; convert part of existing attached garage to habitable rooms; porch to front; dormer window with Juliet balconies to rear forming rooms in roof space. | 11 Osprey Close Collingham Wetherby LS22 5LZ
