| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The Council considers that the erection of single storey extension would represent a disproportionate addition to the existing dwelling and is inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The development would have a significant detrimental impact on its openness. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated to overcome this and other harm caused and as such the proposal is contrary to Local Plan Policies CS4 Green Belts and SP 2 Development in the Green Belt, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
02
The Council considers that the size and design of the proposed single storey rear extension harms the architectural and historic character of this former agricultural building by harming the original design concept of the flat façade and overly domesticating the property. Furthermore, the extension would harm the setting and the overall character and appearance of the property and the wider site. As such, the proposed extension is contrary to Local Plan Policies CS28 Sustainable Design, and SP55 ‘Design Principles’ as well as the Council’s SPD ‘Householder Design Guide, SPD ‘Development in the Green Belt’ and the NPPF
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. It is not possible to support a scheme of this nature and no amendments have been identified at this time to 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.
