29 Westfield Road Waunarlwydd Swansea SA5 4SJ

1. 1.The proposed dwelling to Plot 2 given its scale, siting and proximity to the existing side elevation windows of No. 29 Westfield Road, would result in an unacceptable overbearing and overshadowing impact on these windows, to the detriment of the residential amenities of the occupiers contrary to LDP Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025 (Adopted February 2019) and the SPGs: Placemaking Guidance for Residential Development and Placemaking Guidance for Infill and Backland Development.
2. 2.The proposed development by virtue of a substandard parking area, turning space and visibility, would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety, through increased manoeuvres in conflict with other road users and pedestrians, and therefore, the proposal will have a detrimental impact upon highway safety, contrary to Policies PS2 and T6 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025 (Adopted February 2019).
3. 3.The proposed access lane by virtue of its substandard condition, width and lack of pedestrian pavement is inadequate to serve as an access for two additional dwellings and will result in conflict with other road users and pedestrians, and therefore, the proposal will have a detrimental impact upon highway safety, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025 (Adopted February 2019).
4. 4.The proposed development would discharge foul water within the catchment of the Bury Inlet Inner which forms part of the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries Special Area of Conservation (SAC) where nutrient inputs from freshwater and foul water catchments may be contributing to poor water quality and a failure to meet the site's conservation objectives. The proposed development does not include any measures which would secure that nutrient neutrality could be achieved as such it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development either alone or in combination with other developments would not harm the special biodiversity interests of the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries SAC and would therefore be contrary to Policies PS2, ER6, ER8, RP1 and RP4 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025).
5. 5.The applicant has not demonstrated that the proposed development is capable of appropriately integrating SuDS into the scheme in order to demonstrate that surface water can be appropriately and sustainably managed at the site and to avoid surface water flooding impacts to the property and third party land. The development would therefore be contrary to Technical Advice Note 15: Development, Flooding and Coastal Erosion and contrary to Policies RP4 and RP5 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025).
