Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed access on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of Fulwood Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed driveway would result in an unacceptable risk to highway safety due to vehicles needing to reverse onto a busy, winding road with limited visibility and high pedestrian use, contrary to Policy H14 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy H14 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan, Policy CS74 of the Sheffield Core Strategy, Policies BE5, BE15, BE16, BE17 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan, Guideline 8 of the Council's 'Designing House Extensions' SPG, Guidelines 1 and 2 of the Council's 'Designing House Extensions' SPG
