CHE/18/00337/COU - CHANGE OF USE FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL ON THE GROUND FLOOR, WITH A FLAT AT FIRST FLOOR, AND A SINGLE STOREY REAR EXTENSION AT 144 CHATSWORTH ROAD, CHESTERFIELD

 

That the officer recommendation be upheld and the application be refused for the following reasons:-

 

1.  Policies CS2 and CS18 of the adopted Core Strategy require that development will be expected to “have an acceptable impact on the amenity of users and neighbours”. The potential detrimental impacts of the proposed rear extension on the residential amenity of the neighbouring residents at 142 and 146 Chatsworth Road in terms of their outlook at a blank 2.8 metre high brick wall projecting 6 metres along the boundary would be seriously harmful to their residential amenity. The proposal is considered to be contrary to policy CS2 and CS18 of the Chesterfield Core Strategy 2011 – 31 and the requirements of the 2018 NPPF paragraph 130 which requires good design improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions.

 

2.  The amenity for the proposed flat is considered to be seriously detrimental having regard to the lack of suitable external amenity space and an access to the area to the rear where the waste bins would be placed and the parking opportunity is available and which is considered to be contrary to Policies CS2 and CS18 of the adopted Core Strategy. The proposal is also therefore of a poor design contrary to the requirements of the 2018 NPPF paragraph 130 which requires good design improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions and also the Councils 2013 SPD Successful Places.

 

3.  A lack of information has been provided with the application to allow the local planning authority to properly consider the impact of the proposal on the street scene and Chatsworth Road Conservation Area in which the site is located.
