Why it was refused
- The proposed archway by virtue of its siting, size, height, design and use of materials is an obvious, incongruent and oppressive feature that dominates the vista of Southwell Lane and appears significantly out of character with the prevailing form of development, to the detriment of visual amenity. The proposal is therefore contrary to ST1 of the ALPR (2002) and Part 12 of the NPPF (2024).
From the council's decision notice.
