| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed extensions represents a disproportionate additions to the dwelling and is therefore inappropriate development in the Green Belt. When combined with previous extensions the development has a materially adverse effect on the openness of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated to overcome the harm caused by the inappropriate development, and other harm caused, and consequently the proposal is in conflict with Policy CS4 ‘Green Belt’ and the Councils SPD ‘Development in the Green Belt’ and the guidance contained within the NPPF.
02
The two storey front extension represents an addition which would dominate the appearance of the front of the house and would be harmful to the appearance of the property within the street scene and Conservation Area. The proposed extension is therefore contrary to advice within the SPD Householder Design Guide and Policies CS28, SP55 CS23 and SP41 of the Local Plan.
