1. The proposed development would result in the loss of part of the existing informal open space that currently provides a green buffer separating the Monkton Conservation Area from Jarrow. The encroachment into this open space would erode the semi-rural character of this part of the Monkton Conservation Area. Furthermore the proposed development would adversely affect the setting of and harm important views into and out of the Monkton Conservation Area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to policies DM1 A and C, DM6 B and to the development principles contained within SPD17 CA-M1 A, B, C and D.
4. The development of the dwelling would be likely to lead to requests by the future occupiers of the development to have the trees along the site boundary either removed or heavily pruned. Such requests would be to the detriment of the trees and to the character and appearance of the Monkton Conservation Area. Furthermore, the construction of the dwelling may cause unavoidable damage to the protected trees due to the significant overhanging of the canopies and the root protection areas within the construction area. The proposal is considered to be contrary to policy DM1 A, and C, DM6 B and to the development principles contained within SPD17 CA-M1 A, B, C and D.
3. The siting of the proposed dwelling close to the heavily treed boundaries of the site would result in significant overshadowing of the house and the garden area and reduce the outlook from the proposed dwelling to the detriment of the residential amenity enjoyed by future residents. The measure proposed to mitigate this impact is the removal of three protected trees T8, 9 and 10, which are growing on land outside the site boundaries and not in the control of the applicant. There is no health, safety or structural reason to support the proposal to fell these trees which were protected due to the positive contribution they make to the character of the conservation area. Their loss would have an adverse impact on the appearance and character of the conservation area. The development would be contrary to policies DM1 A, B and C, DM6 B and to the development principles contained within SPD17 CA-M1 A, B, C and D.
2. The proposed two storey detached house, by reason of its design would not respect the scale or design of nearby buildings or the wider streetscape and would result in a development that would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the Monkton Conservation Area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to policies DM1 A and C, DM6 B and to the development principles contained within SPD17 CA-M1 A, B, C and D.
