This is kay. This is a true short story about Kay. Kay is a town planner in an inner urban council. He is assessing one of our multi storey applications in a commercial area. There is an objector. A next-door resident, concerned with overlooking, loss of sunlight and overshadowing. Kay requested we provide a detailed overlooking and overshadowing analysis for his assessment. We declined on the basis that the amenity impacts were not relevant to the planning assessment. Kay agreed and informed the objector that their concerns were not relevant to his planning assessment. 🗝 Key takeaway - It is not always incumbent for the council to assess the impacts on existing residential properties by a new development. In some zones, impacts on existing residents are subordinate to facilitating development. Residents in these zones have to temper their expectation of the level of amenity that they can expect than if they lived in a residentially zoned area. For applicants engaging in a ‘site selection’ exercise, this means that the purpose of the zone is as important as the presence of 'could be' objectors.

Darryl Howells has secured planning permission to sever land and erect a detached bungalow. The application followed an appeal again handled by Darryl Howells Planning Consultancy Ltd. for the same bungalow. We successfully argued for the impact upon the pattern of development, the design of the bungalow itself, and amenity space available. The appeal was dismissed solely on the grounds that the Inspector felt uncomfortable how the financial contributions were being secured. A quick resubmission and the application was approved. A successful end to 2024, with our success rate up to 75%, (up by 6% for 2023) when the applications are submitted and handled by this firm. #dhpc #darrylhowellsplanningconsultancy #darrylhowells #planningpermission #morehousing #merrychristmas #endtheyearstrong

Melton Borough Council Replacement Roof Planning Appeal Case Study This planning application was originally validated by Melton Borough Council on the 7th April and refused on the 9th February for a Replacement of a flat roof with a pitched roof. The refusal reasons given by Melton Borough Council were that The Local Planning Authority considered that; The proposed development is, as a result of its design including by nature of the increased height and visual bulk of the roof, considered harmful to the street scene and character of the area. The proposal would be harmful to residential amenity in terms of visual amenity, loss of light and loss of privacy. The proposed pitched roof would have a detrimental impact upon the living conditions of number 38 and 40 Kings Road. Creating an unacceptable sense of enclosure for the occupants of number 40. If you have a look at the plans and what difference this roof is compared to the existing one, and the impact it would make on neighbours then you would have a question why this was refused in the first place and how the local authority managed to come up with such a harsh set of refusal reasons! That said Many people upon receiving a refusal like this, decide to give up at this stage, and do not go to appeal, but honestly refusal reasons like these are perfectly normal and although comprehensive can be overcome, as we show in this video. For this appeal we produced a 23 page detailed appeal statement, working our way through the delegated officers report and decision notice, dismantling their objections and the reasons the planning officer at Melton Borough Council had used to refuse this application. Providing a comprehensive and robust argument, bringing national and local policies into play, and detailed reasoning as to why the findings were wrong, and in-fact this development was perfectly acceptable. The inspector visited the appeal site on 12th May and issued the appeal decision on 26th May in a concise three page appeal decision report. The good news was that the appeal was upheld and the permission granted. https://lnkd.in/eR62Vtfh
