| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed garage by virtue of its prominent position to the front of the property, is considered to result in a utilitarian appearance that is detrimental to the character and appearance of the streetscene, and proposed screen planting would not be sufficient to overcome the detrimental impact. The proposed garage is therefore considered contrary to Local Plan Policies CS28 – Sustainable Design, and SP55 – Design Principles, as well as the guidance in SPD4 – Householder Design Guide and to the NPPF.
Informative
Enforcement action has been authorised requiring the removal of the garage from the site including all associated materials/ waste and the land to be restored to its former condition, all within a compliance period of 3 months, and Prosecution action should the steps not be taken within the required time period. You are advised to take steps to remove the structure under construction and restore the land accordingly to avoid formal enforcement action.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. It is not possible to support a scheme of this nature and no amendments have been identified at this time to 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.
