Application 36439D - Gulson Plating David Road

least 23m from the rear elevations of those dwellings. The deeper central
section of the walkways would be at least 6m from the rear boundaries of
the adjacent dwellings in Northfield Road and at least 22m from the rear
elevations of those dwellings, and would be provided with a slatted screen
to preserve the privacy of the dwellings to the rear.
• The proposed building is taller than the building previously on site and
therefore there would be some impact on daylight and sunlight for
surrounding dwellings. However, the proposal meets the normal separation
standards and is situated to the north and west of the adjoining dwellings. It
is to the south of dwellings on the opposite side of the David Road, but it
would be at least 12m from those dwellings and therefore I am satisfied that
it would not result in unacceptable loss of daylight and sunlight. The building
would not infringe the BRE 25° Guideline (measured on the vertical plane)
for daylight and sunlight for houses in Northfield Road at the rear. There are
no houses with windows directly facing the site on the opposite side of
David Road.
• the part of the building adjacent No. 54 David Road has been moved back
in order to comply with Members' previous requests regarding the building
line. Consequently, it would now project 3.2m beyond the rear elevation of
No. 54 David Road.
• In terms of the impact of the proposals on No. 54 it is notable that the
element adjacent No. 54 is the lowest part of the development and has a
two-storey rear elevation, allowing for a lower rear eaves line than the
remainder of the development. The proposed building would not infringe the
45-degree line in relation to the nearest habitable window in No. 54.
CONCLUSION
• I therefore recommend that permission be granted subject to the conditions
stated, and subject to the completion of a satisfactory Section 106
agreement.
