Newland Park planning application rejected on appeal

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the appeal against Hull City Council’s decision to reject the planning application to turn the garage block of 30 Newland Park into a day room and lounge and to increase the number of tenants from 10 to 15 has been rejected by the Planning Inspectorate.

Put simply, the main reason for the decision was that adding five more tenants and converting the garage would mean more comings and goings and more noise which the boundary fence with no. 32 would not serve to deaden. Nor did the planning inspector feel that good management of the property by the landlords would ease the difficulty.  The inspector also felt that  raising the number of tenants to 15 would leave each of them with too little room. The full letter to the Council explaining all this in more detail is available from the Planning Inspectorate website.
