An application for the construction of new agricultural barns in the Loxley Valley was initially refused by Sheffield City Council as they considered the development to negatively impact on the character and landscape setting as well as the setting of a nearby listed building.
Working with Robert Bryan Planning and Journeyman Design, Weddle Landscape Design were instructed to prepare a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment to consider the impact of the development on a number of viewpoints. We also prepared a landscape scheme to soften and eventually hide the proposals from wider views. When the application was taken to appeal the inspector found that ‘the proposal can be assimilated into the landscape without causing harm to the character and landscape setting of the area.’
The appeal was allowed! We are really pleased to have assisted with this positive outcome for our client.
