19, Ellison Street, Crosland Moor, Huddersfield, HD4 5DS

1. 1.The proposed development, by reason of its form, massing, materials and architectural detailing, would appear visually incongruous and unsympathetic to the host property and the established character of Ellison Street, whilst also disrupting the visual coherence of the semi-detached pair of properties, resulting in an unbalanced relationship that would be harmful to the appearance of the street scene and fail to comply with Policies LP1, LP2, and LP24 of the Kirklees Local Plan and Policies within Chapters 2 and 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.By virtue of its scale, height, proximity, and orientation relative to the neighbouring bungalow at No. 21 Ellison Street, the proposed development would result in unacceptable overshadowing and overbearing impacts, causing harm to the residential amenity of the neighbouring occupiers, and would therefore be contrary to Policies LP1, LP2, and LP24 of the Kirklees Local Plan and Policies within Chapters 2 and 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
