About this application
This is a planning application for a garage at Proposed Residential Conversion Of Garage Building At Woodbury Hengoed Shropshire. Shropshire has handled 18,404 applications of this type. This one was decided in 52 days, 10 days longer than Shropshire's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address.
Why it was refused
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers. The close relationship between the dwelling, the adjoining workshop and associated yard would expose future occupiers to noise and disturbance, while the proximity of the workshop wall to the proposed south-facing windows would result in a poor outlook and restricted natural light. The proposal would therefore fail to secure a satisfactory standard of residential amenity and conflicts with Core Strategy Policy CS6, SAMDev Policy MD2, the Design of New Dwellings SPD and Policy L2(1)(ii) of the Shropshire Local Plan.
