NORTHERN PLANNING COMMITTEE 22nd January 2014

UPDATE TO AGENDA, PREPARED 20th January 2014

APPLICATION NO:	13/4091M

LOCATION: Boarsleigh Restaurant, Leek Road, Bosley, SK11 0PN

PROPOSAL: Demolition of existing two-storey restaurant and outbuildings. Development of 16 new houses and bungalows with associated infrastructure, highways works and amenity space

Residential Amenity

The applicant has submitted a section plan illustrating the relationship of the proposed bungalow at plot 16 and the adjacent caravan.

The cross section plan indicates that the proposed new bungalow on plot 16 will be 3.7m from the side elevation of the adjacent caravan and sited at the same ground level.

The proposed bungalow just shaves the 45-degree angel when taken from the side window (that faces Leek Road) of the adjacent caravan.

It is noted that the proposed bungalow may have some impact in terms of overshadowing and loss of light upon the caravan, this impact is however likely to be minimal given; the siting and eaves height of the proposed bungalow (at 2.5m), the design of the bungalow roof, which slopes away from the boundary and the proposed 2m high fence which will be positioned along the shared boundary.

The proposed development is therefore considered to have an acceptable impact upon residential amenity and complies with policies DC3, DC38 and H13 of the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan.
