SU.1

 

Application ref:                   S05/0415/69

 

Description:                           Installation of rooflights and windows to roof of flats

 

Location:                                Former Nightclub Site, Chapel Yard, North Street, Stamford

 

Decision:                                Refused

 

Noting comments from the Highway Authority and Arboriculturalist/Landscape Officer, an objection from Stamford Town Council and detailed submissions in support from the applicant’s agent, including a response following the adjournment to consider amendments, for the following reason:-

 

It is considered that the proposed insertion of dormer windows into the north and eastern facing roofslopes, to provide daylight to rooms of proposed flats in the roofspace of the existing buildings would endanger the continued existence of the protected Lime trees on the adjacent Recreation Ground by severely restricting natural light reaching those rooms, thus leading to pressure for their removal.

 

In some cases the dormers are not necessary as they are not the only means of providing natural light and in others it could be provided by alternative means.

 

The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy EN1 of the South Kesteven Local Plan.

 

Authority given for the commencement of enforcement proceedings with regard to the unauthorised insertion of dormer windows into the north and eastern facing roof slopes of the development.
