| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The Council considers that by virtue of its design, siting and materials, the proposed steel-framed pergola would introduce an incongruous feature on the host property that would have a detrimental impact on the character of the host property. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to adopted Rotherham Local Plan Policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Design’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’.
02
The Council considers that the proposed balcony would result in an unacceptable level of downward overlooking into the rear gardens of neighbouring properties at 21 and 23 Red Kite Avenue that would result in a loss of privacy for those residents and be significantly detrimental to their amenity. As such, the proposal is considered to be in conflict with adopted Rotherham Local Plan Policy SP55 ‘Design Principles’ and adopted Rotherham SPD Householder Design Guide, Design Guidance 1.3.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. Changes must be made to make the scheme acceptable, and such changes are considered significant which cannot be accommodated within the scope of this application. It was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and resulted in this refusal.
