120 Brithwen Road Waunarlwydd Swansea SA5 4QX

1. 1.The proposed dwelling by virtue of its scale and close proximity to the common boundary with no.124 Brithwen Road, would have an adverse overbearing impact on this neighbour, which would be to the detriment of the residential amenities of the occupiers of this neighbouring property, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025) and Planning Policy Wales Ed.12 (Feb, 2024).
2. 2.The proposed dwelling by virtue of its excessive scale and siting in relation to the existing neighbouring dwelling at 124 Brithwen Road, would have an unacceptable impact on the character of the street, to the detriment of the visual amenities of the locality, contrary to Policy PS2 of the City and County of Swansea Local Development Plan 2019 and the Council's Infill and Backland Design Guide.
3. 3.The failure to demonstrate that the proposed parking and layout can be accessed safely and provides sufficient space for the turning of cars within the site so that they can exit in forward gear, will have a detrimental impact upon highway safety for both vehicles and pedestrians and impact upon the availability of off road parking to the detriment of existing residents, contrary to Policies PS 2 and T 6 of the Local Development Plan 2019.
4. 4.Insufficient details have been submitted in respect of the foul water drainage system for the proposed dwelling to represent an acceptable form of infrastructure. The proposal would thereby be contrary to Policy PS 2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025) and Planning Policy Wales Ed.12 (Feb, 2024).
5. 5.The applicant has not demonstrated, through the submission of an appropriate Drainage Statement, 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) and Planning Policy Wales Ed.12 (Feb, 2024).
6. 6.Insufficient details have been submitted in respect of the potential ecological impacts of the development on the area through the demolition of the property and the implications of the proposal to be properly evaluated by the Local Planning Authority in terms of biodiversity contrary to Policies PS2 and ER8 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025) and Planning Policy Wales Ed.12 (Feb, 2024).
