About this application

This is a planning application at 43 Wimmerfield Crescent Killay Swansea SA2 7BU. Swansea has handled 8,361 applications of this type. This one was decided in 54 days, 5 days longer than Swansea's typical decision time. There have been 2 other applications at this address. We hold 395 applications in total for the SA2 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its cramped appearance and the introduction of terraced dwellings would result in an incongruous form of development that would fail to respect the appearance and form of the host dwelling and would have a harmful impact upon the streetscene and upon the consistent pattern of development of the area in the form of semi-detached dwellings, to the detriment of the visual amenity of the area, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's 'Placemaking Guidance for Infill and Backland Development' (2021).
  2. The proposal fails to provide evidence that there is adequate space to provide 2 vehicle parking spaces at the front of the existing dwelling in tandem, and fails to demonstrate that adequate visibility can be achieved from the proposed parking spaces at both the existing and proposed dwelling. The proposal is therefore considered to have an unacceptable impact on highway safety contrary to Policy T1 and T6 of the Local Development Plan 2010-2025.
  3. The application has not been accompanied by a Tree Survey. The proposal therefore fails to consider the potential impact of the proposal on the Trees and Hedgerows on site, contrary to Policies ER9 and ER11 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and contrary to the Council's Biodiversity and Development Supplementary Planning Guidance (2021).
  4. The application has not been accompanied by a Preliminary Roost Assessment. The proposal therefore fails to consider the potential impact of the proposal on protected species, contrary to Policies ER8 and ER9 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and contrary to the Council's Biodiversity and Development Supplementary Planning Guidance (2021).
  5. The application has not been accompanied by a Coal Mining Risk Assessment. The proposal therefore fails to demonstrate to the local planning authority that the site is suitable for the proposed development and can be made safe and stable, contrary to Policy RP7 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019).

From the council's decision notice.
