| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
RECOMMENDATION
Planning permission should be refused for the following reason:
01
The Council considers that the balcony on the rear elevation by virtue of its position in close proximity of the boundaries, would result in an overlooking impact on the residential amenity of the occupiers of the adjacent properties. The proposed screen fencing would not overcome the harm caused in this instance. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to Local Plan Policy SP55 ‘Design Principles’, the advice set out in the Council’s adopted SPD – ‘Householder Design Guide’, and the guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. It is considered that it is not possible to support a scheme of this nature nor would any amendments make it acceptable. It was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and resulted in this refusal.
