®Planning appeal decision
66 Portsea Road, Sheffield, S6 4QB
Planning appeal 3374661 at 66 Portsea Road, Sheffield, S6 4QB (Sheffield City Council) was dismissed on 21 November 2025 by Inspector Vyse J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: 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.
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
