| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The Council considers that by virtue of scale, massing and appearance, the proposed wraparound canopy and single storey front extension are considered additions that would result in harm to the character of the host dwelling and the surrounding street scene. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Local Plan Policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Design’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’.
02
The Council considers that the proposed single storey front extension would result in an overbearing impact to the neighbouring property’s ground floor front window which would affect the living conditions of the occupiers of that property. As such, the proposed development is considered to result in harm to neighbouring amenity, contrary to the SPD ‘Householder Design Guide’, Design Guidance 1.1 and 2.4, Local Plan Policy SP55 ‘Design Principles’ and the Policy P3 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. Discussions during the determination of the application have identified 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.
