| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The Council considers that the erection of two storey side and rear extension 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 SP2 Development in the Green Belt, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
02
The Council considers that the design of the two-storey side extension not being set down from the original ridge, would create a scheme that would not be subservient to the host property and would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host property and the streetscene in general. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to Local Plan Policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Design’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’, the advice set out in the Council’s Supplementary Planning Document, 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 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.
