Amadeus House 1 Sylvan Close Higher Heath Whitchurch Shropshire SY13 2TB

1. 1.This application seeks to amend the approved scheme by repositioning the dwelling approximately 1.4 metres closer to the southern site boundary. Planning permission was originally granted under ref. 25/03288/FUL and subsequently varied under ref. 26/01154/VAR to amend the siting of the dwelling. The site is subject to an Area Tree Preservation Order and contains protected Oak trees (T31 and T32) along the southern boundary. The proposed repositioning would bring the dwelling closer to these trees, with the potential to affect their root protection areas and canopy spread. In addition, the amended siting would place the dwelling closer to the neighbouring rear garden boundary, increasing its prominence the adjoining property. Having regard to the scale and implications of the proposed change, including its potential impact on protected trees and the altered relationship with neighbouring land, the proposed amendment would result in a development that is materially different from that previously approved. The changes are therefore beyond the scope of a non-material amendment under Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). Accordingly, the application is refused.
