Planning appeal decision

Dismissed21 November 20253374661

66 Portsea Road, Sheffield, S6 4QB

of a comparable scale to that which could be constructed under permitted development rights. However, it is not apparent that any such scheme would necessarily be pursued were this appeal to fail, but more to the point, even were that to be the case, no details are before me of any such scheme to allow for a meaningful comparison against the current proposal in terms of likely impacts. Moreover, given the nature of the appeal, I do not have the comments of the planning authority on this matter. I confirm therefore, that I have considered the appeal scheme on its own particular merits

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 64 Portsea Road having particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The extension would fail to safeguard the living conditions of adjoining occupiers by appearing unduly dominant and overbearing with adverse impacts on outlook and daylight, contrary to policy H14, the Council's SPG Guideline 5, and NPPF paragraph 135.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Policy H14 of the Unitary Development Plan
