Decision Date:	15 April 2021
Decision Type:	REFUSED
Temporary Expiry Date:
Decision Level/Committee:	Proposed to be Delegated
Conditions / Reason for Refusal:	01 The Council considers that the proposed extension by virtue of the roof not being set down from the ridge fails to create a subservient addition and unbalances the pair of semi-detached dwellings . As such, the proposal would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Local Plan policies CS28 and SP55 and the Supplementary Planning Document - ‘Householder Design Guide’. POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. Whilst discussions during the determination of the application have identified a possible acceptable alternative to this proposal, the applicant has been unwilling to amend the scheme. This was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and resulted in this refusal.
