(a)       110 Skipton Road, Ilkley                                                   Ilkley

 

Construction of detached car port with office above plus associated works at 110 Skipton Road, Ilkley - 16/07296/HOU

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be refused for the following reasons:

 

(i)         The proposed development will have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area and the Ilkley Conservation Area contrary to Policies D1 and BH7 of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan.

(ii)        The building will have substandard access due to the narrow width of Riverside Walk and the increased likelihood of parking by clients of the proposed home business would cause obstruction.  As such the proposal is contrary to Policies TM19A and TM2 of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan.

(iii)       The position of the roof lights on the submitted drawings is such that overlooking would be caused to occupiers of existing dwellings on Riverside Walk, resulting in loss of amenity to occupiers of these dwellings contrary to Policies D1 and UR3 of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan.

(iv)      The development would pose a threat to the trees immediately adjoining the site which is within the Conservation Area. This would be contrary to Policies NE4 and NE5 of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan.

The extraction flue hereby permitted shall be rectangular in shape and coloured to match the adjoining stonework as specified on the submitted drawings and written submissions and shall be retained in that form and colour thereafter.

(f)        Holmfield Manor Road, Keighley                                   Keighley Central

 

Full planning application for an amended house type on Plot 4 of the previously approved development at Holmfield, Manor Road, Keighley - 16/08785/FUL

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be approved for the following reason:

and subject to the conditions applied to the previous permission 13/04890/FUL that are appropriate and including that no further windows, including dormer windows, or other openings shall be formed in the north elevation of the dwelling on Plot 4 without the prior permission of the Local Planning Authority, in order to prevent overlooking of the adjacent property or garden area.

(h)       Marsh Farm, Banks Lane, Riddlesden,            Keighley East

Keighley

 

Full application for construction of a new boarding kennel for up to 44 dogs and associated parking facilities. Marsh Farm, Banks Lane, Riddlesden, Keighley - 16/08142/FUL

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be refused for the following reasons:

 

(i)         The site is in the Green Belt defined by the Replacement Unitary Development Plan for the Bradford District (the RUDP).  Policy GB1 of the RUDP and the National Planning Policy Framework (2012) set a strong presumption against inappropriate development in order to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open and safeguard the countryside from encroachment.  The proposal would present a prominent encroachment of new building, car parking and ancillary development not required for agriculture into an area of unspoilt open countryside.  The development would not preserve the openness of the countryside and would conflict significantly with the purposes of including the land within the green belt.  No very special circumstances have been presented that would outweigh that harm to the green belt and the proposal is therefore inappropriate development contrary to Policy GB1 of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

(ii)        The Local Planning Authority is not convinced by the assessment of noise impact submitted by the applicant.  It considers that noise associated with the dog kennels would have an adverse impact on the residential amenities currently enjoyed by the occupants of Hilltops and Paxton Bungalows, Bank Lane, Riddlesden.  As such the proposal will conflict with Policies D1 and UR3 of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan and will not form sustainable development compatible with the National Planning Policy Framework.
