| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The Council considers that the proposed garage by virtue of its prominent position in the front/side garden would introduce an incongruous feature in the street scene and would appear out of keeping and harmful to the area. As such, the proposal would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Local Plan policies CS28 and SP55 and the Supplementary Planning Document - ‘Householder Design Guide’.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
Whilst the applicant entered into pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority these identified that it is not possible to support a scheme of this nature nor would any amendments make it acceptable. The application was submitted on the basis of these discussions and it was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework resulting in this refusal.
