The main points only are given for ease of reference. The full letters are on the application file, which is available to members and the public and will be at the meeting. Case Number 04/00793/FUL Application Type A Full Planning Application Proposal Alterations to vicarage to form 4 flats and erection of 31 flats in 4 blocks with associated car parking (Site of 234 and 234A Abbeydale Road South) Location Abbeydale Road South Dore Sheffield Date Received 02/03/2004 Team SOUTH Applicant/Agent D Housley And Co Recommendation Refuse For the following reason(s): 1 The Local Planning Authority consider that a development of the scale and density proposed would result in the overdevelopment of the site which would harm the character and appearance of the area, including the adjoining Area of Special Character and the setting of the former vicarage and nearby Listed Buildings. The buildings would unacceptably dominate the former vicarage and introduce design features that do not respect the form of the original building which would be detrimental to the setting of the building. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies BE5, BE15, BE19 and H14(a) of the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan. 2 The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed development would result in the loss of mature trees and landscaping and create pressure for subsequent pruning/removal of trees of high amenity value. Such losses 7 would detract from the visual amenities of the locality and the setting of the former vicarage, nearby listed buildings and the adjoining Area of Special Character. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies BE6, BE19 and GE15 of the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan. 3 The Local Planning Authority consider that the use of the proposed means of vehicular access/egress to and from the site would, in the absence of improvements to safeguard vehicles turning into the site and into the Twentywell Lane, be detrimental to the safety of road users and the free and safe flow of traffic in Abbeydale Road South. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy H14(d) of the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan. 4 The proposed development does not include provision for cycle parking or car parking provision for people with disabilities. Improvements are required to assist the manoeuvres of service vehicles, footways into the site are of substandard width and the gradient of the ramp to the upper tier of the proposed car park is substandard. In the absence of suitable provision of these facilities, the proposed development is contrary to Policies BE9 and H14(d) of the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan. 5 The Local Planning Authority consider that the proposed development represents an overdevelopment of the site with insufficient external amenity space and privacy for residents, poor outlook, including over adjoining third party land and an oppressive environment to the main living areas to units A8 and A10. The proposed development is thereby contrary to Policies H5(b), H14(c) and H15(b) of the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan. 6 The proposed development does not include sufficient provision for people with disabilities. No units have been demonstrated to provide suitable accommodation for wheelchair users, access to the communal amenity space is severely restricted and there is no provision of suitable car parking spaces. In the absence of suitable provision for people with disabilities, the proposed development is contrary to Policies BE5(i), BE9(f) and H15(a) of the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan. 8 Site Location © Crown copyright. All rights reserved. 10018816. 2005 INTRODUCTION Formal and informal proposals for this site have been the subject of protracted negotiations over the last 3-4 years. This application was expected to have been amended following extensive discussions last year. However, an impasse appears to have been reached and the application remains as originally submitted in March 2004. LOCATION AND PROPOSAL The site is occupied by a Victorian former vicarage and a modern two storey dwellinghouse built on land formerly within the grounds of the vicarage. The two properties lie between the private driveway to the adjoining Abbeydale Park Tennis Club and a bridle path in Water Lane. Beyond Water Lane are Grade II listed 9 almshouses (Woodland View). Immediately to the rear of the site is the car park to Abbeydale Park Tennis Club beyond which are tennis courts. There is a car showroom directly opposite the site between the junction with Twentywell Lane and a PO sorting office. Next to the sorting office is St John’s Church (Grade ii listed). On the opposite side of the Twentywell Lane junction is a complex of c.1970 four storey flats in Ladies Spring Drive. The application is to demolish the modern dwelling and convert the former vicarage to 4 flats (2 x 1 bed and 2 x 2 bed). An elongated 2½ storey block is proposed to be linked to the rear of the vicarage extending beyond the principal elevations to provide 13 flats (12 x 2 bed and 1 x 3 bed). The existing shared means of vehicular access to the site is to be moved approximately 22 metres to the south- west (closer to the tennis club entrance) and 3 storey blocks are proposed to either side providing a further 18 x 2 bed flats. 14 surface level car parking spaces are proposed in addition to 30 spaces provided in a two tier car park to the rear of the larger 3 storey block. RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY An outline application to replace the former vicarage (No234) with 30 flats indicatively shown in a ‘V’ shaped 4 storey arrangement was withdrawn in June 2003 (ref.03/01228/OUT). The application was due to be recommended for refusal on the grounds of overdevelopment, harm to the setting of nearby listed buildings and an Area of Special Character, unsatisfactory car parking provision and impact on highway safety, loss of trees, loss of privacy, noise and disturbance and overbearing on the adjoining property (234A). An application for a development of 4 detached dwellinghouses on the site of tennis courts to the rear of the informal car park to the adjoining Abbeydale Park Tennis Club is currently being considered (ref.06/03803/FUL). The proposals include the formal laying out and extension of the car park, widening of the lower portion of the existing drive access, cutting back of vegetation in front of No234 to improve visibility and the extension and upgrading of the clubhouse. The dwelling at 234A was granted planning permission in 1987 (ref.86/2388P). SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS 18 letters of representation have been received, together with a 170 signature petition. Objections have also been received from the Dore Village Society, Councillor Keith Hill and Councillor Anne Smith. The representations include strong concerns from the occupiers of No234A. The representations are summarised below: Principle of development - Will feed trend of replacing

  • Chapter Sixteen
    Chapter Sixteen Principal Tool Companies William's Tool Business William, the second son of John(3) and Sarah, was born on 3rd October 1781. He founded a large tool company. On 18th April 1803, he married Sarah Osborne, his cousin, the daughter of Elizabeth Binney. When he wed he was of Bent's Green, just half a mile from his father’s farm in Trap Lane and less than a mile from the churchyard where, as I hacked into the ivy, I found his large tomb and that of Sarah, near the Ecclesall Church door. Ecclesall Church offered choice burial sites to benefactors during its extension programme. William paid up; he couldn't take it with him. The 1817 Sheffield directory, shows Thomas and William, in the same entry. Their South Street business was a joint enterprise and they continued to operate jointly until around 1824. That was when William needed his own premises. Until 1821, William’s business was as described in the previous chapter for Thomas’s. Between that time and 1825 William moved to Rockingham Street, which was to be the headquarters of his firm for more than fifty years. On 9th February, 1824, William signed an agreement to lease a plot of land in Rockingham Street for eight hundred years! It was of four hundred and four and one half square yards, with all appurtenances which he bought from Mary Johnson, whose husband George, had bought it from the Duke of Norfolk. The Memorial for the lease tells us that it fronted on the east of Rockingham Street, twelve yards, south, on other land belonging to Mary Johnson, twenty-six yards west on land belonging to the Church Burgesses of Sheffield twelve yards, north on land sold to Thomas Staley, twenty-eight yards.1 Although we do not have any pictures of William's factory in Rockingham Street, one of his neighbours did advertise in an 1834 Directory.2 Below is a copy of the advertisement which shows the premises of John Davenport.
