About this application
This is a planning application for a garage at 4 Waterworks Cottages Hill Barn Lane Worthing West Sussex BN14 9QQ. Adur and Worthing has handled 3,003 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. The site is in a conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 93 applications across Offington. We hold 504 applications in total for the BN14 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed garage, due to siting, scale and materials would result in a dominant and assertive building which be harmful to the character of the streetscene and have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the site. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DM5 of the Worthing Local Plan, Supplementary Planning Guidance 'Extending or altering your home' and the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
