This is a planning application at 35A High Street Chase Terrace Burntwood Staffordshire WS7 1LR. Lichfield has handled 3,800 applications of this type. This one was decided in 54 days, 5 days longer than Lichfield's typical decision time. The site is in 1 listed building nearby. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 5 applications across Chase Terrace. We hold 873 applications in total for the WS7 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposal by virtue of its inadequate separation distance from No35 High Street, and the subsequent level of overlooking, the poor outlook from the living room and the potential for substantial overshadowing from trees to the south would fail to achieve a high standard of residential amenity for future occupants. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies CP3, BE1 and NR7 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy, Policy B5 of the Burntwood Neighbourhood Plan and the design guidance set out within the Lichfield District Design Code. Furthermore, it is considered that the harm caused by substandard level of amenity that would be provided by the dwelling would clearly outweigh the benefit of the contribution that 1 dwelling would make towards meeting the objectively assessed housing needs of the District and the very limited contribution that construction would make to the local economy.

From the council's decision notice.
