Our clients live in a heritage property which backs onto the site of a former agricultural merchants. The site is brownfield, and in 2022 an application was submitted to create new dwellings. Our clients acknowledge and welcome the redevelopment of this site, however they had concerns about a number of elements of the scheme which would impact their amenity, as their property is immediately adjacent to the site. Their areas of concern were surrounding the overlooking of their property, as well as land ownership issues which needed to be addressed. We provided representations on behalf of our clients to ensure that they could continue to enjoy a good level of amenity within their property.

Outcome

Permission was granted for the scheme, and conditions were imposed following our communication with the council that will serve to mitigate against adverse impacts to our clients’ amenity.
