| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
It is considered that the proposed development would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area in this prominent corner location and would not relate well to the existing streetscene, contrary to Local Plan Policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Design’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’.
02
The proposal does not comply with spacing standards set out on the South Yorkshire Residential Design Guide and adopted Supplementary Planning Document 4 - Householder Design Guide. The proposal would result in having an adverse impact on the amenity of neighbouring residents contrary to paragraph 135(f) of the Framework and adopted Local Plan policy SP55 ‘Design Principles’.
03
The Council considers that insufficient information / evidence has been submitted to clearly assess whether appropriate mitigation could be taken to address the impact of the proposed development on the general ecology on the site. As such the application would be in conflict with adopted Local Plan Policies CS19 ‘Green Infrastructure’, CS20 ‘Biodiversity and Geodiversity’, CS21 ‘Landscape’, SP32 ‘Green Infrastructure and Landscape’ and SP33 ‘Conserving the Natural Environment’, as well as the National Planning Policy Framework.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. Consideration of the scheme 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.
