The East Area Planning Committee has refused planning permission for a two storey bungalow on Heslington Lane, Fulford.
Local Liberal Democrat councillor Keith Aspden had called the application in to the committee following concerns from local residents that the plans would result in overdevelopment of the local streets and area, as it would affect both Heslington Lane and Heath Moor Drive.
The way the Heath Moor Drive estate was designed meant any changes the design of the homes would harm the look of the area. Heslington Lane and Heath Moore Drive are designed with a symmetrical layout of bungalows and houses, these proposals were unsympathetic to neighbouring properties and would damage the street scene.
A similar application had been refused several years ago. We are pleased that the committee’s decision is consistent with previous decisions. Approval could have set a precedent that would lead to further bungalows being developed in a way not in keeping with the area.
The development would also have seen the new two storey bungalow overlook the single storey bungalow to the rear and residents had raised concerns that they would lose privacy if the plans were approved.
We are pleased that the committee has refused permission for this proposal and we are sure residents will be glad to hear of the decision.
