| Decision Level/Committee: |
Delegated (Part 2A) |
| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed increase in the roof height of both the central apex along with the eaves level is considered to materially increase levels of overshadowing and dominance to the outlooks of existing ground floor windows to the adjacent property to the west at no. 4 Robin Hood Court. This further restricts existing light to the outlook of windows (in particular W6) and is considered to conflict with the general guidance of the NPPF at paragraph 131 along with Local Plan Policy SP55 ‘Design Principles’.
Informative
The applicant is reminded that only the creation of the new second floor element of the application including external changes to the alterations to the roof and new windows have been considered on this application. The earlier Prior Notification application RB2023/0024 (and has been subsequently updated under RB2024/0341) considered the principle of the ground and first floor residential conversion and is live until September 2026.
Positive and Proactive Statement
Whilst the applicant entered into informal pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority these identified that it is not possible to support a scheme of this nature and whilst additional supporting evidence was submitted, these clarifications were still insufficient to make the scheme 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.
