| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The Council considers that the proposed two storey front and side extension would appear unduly prominent in the streetscene by introducing an incongruous feature to the front elevation which dominates the original property. The side extension with an overall ridge line that is not set down from that existing is not a subservient addition. This would result in a terracing effect and a visually unbalancing the pair of semi-detached dwellings to the detriment of the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the visual amenity of the streetscene. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Design’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’ of Rotherham’s adopted Local Plan and the Rotherham adopted 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. 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
