| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposal would result in a reduced quality of design for the development and would result in a material reduction in the contribution that the development has to the local character and distinctiveness of the area. The proposals would, therefore, have a less than substantial harm to the South Anston Conservation Area and its setting and there are no public benefits to overcome this harm. As such, it is therefore considered that the proposal does not accord with Local Plan Policies CS23, SP41 & SP55, the guidance within the NPPF and The National Design Guide.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
Whilst the applicant entered into pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority these identified that it is not possible to support a scheme of this nature nor would any amendments make it acceptable. The application was submitted on the basis of these discussions and it was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework resulting in this refusal.
