Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of its siting, scale, close proximity and relationship to no.27 Gellifawr Road, would have a significant overbearing and overshadowing impact upon a first-floor habitable window on the east (side) elevation of this neighbouring property. As a result, the proposal would have a substantial adverse impact on the residential amenity and the health and well-being of the occupiers of this neighbouring property, contrary to Policy PS
- of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025 and Supplementary planning guidance document "Placemaking Guidance for Infill and Backland Development" (2021). 2 The proposed development, by virtue of its siting, scale, close proximity and relationship to no.31 Gellifawr Road, would have a significant overbearing and overshadowing impact upon a ground-floor habitable window on the west (side) elevation of this neighbouring property. As a result, the proposal would have a substantial adverse impact on the residential amenity and the health and well-being of the occupiers of this neighbouring property, contrary to Policy PS 2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025 and Supplementary planning guidance document "Placemaking Guidance for Infill and Backland Development" (2021).
- The application fails to demonstrate, through an adequate Drainage Statement, that the proposed development can satisfactorily incorporate a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) capable of effectively managing surface water runoff. As a result, it has not been shown that the development would avoid increasing flood risk on-site or elsewhere. The proposal therefore conflicts with Technical Advice Note 15: Development, Flooding and Coastal Erosion and Policies RP4 and RP5 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025).
