Why it was refused
- REASON FOR REFUSAL - RESIDENTIAL AMENITY HARM The smoke emitted from these flues will not disperse at height, instead being drawn down to ground level and would likely pool around the building. The installation of two flues reduces the efflux velocity (speed of smoke output) further due to competing draws. The proposal will have detrimental impact on residential amenity by virtue of the smoke pollution. The proposal development would be contrary to policies LP15 and LP24 of the JLP and paragraphs 135, 187 and 198 of the NPPF. SUMMARY OF POLICIES WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO THE DECISION: SP03 - The sustainable location of new development SP09 - Enhancement and Management of the Environment SP10 - Climate Change LP03 - Residential Extensions and Conversions LP15 - Environmental Protection and Conservation LP16 - Biodiversity & Geodiversity LP19 - The Historic Environment LP23 - Sustainable Construction and Design LP24 - Design and Residential Amenity LP29 - Safe, Sustainable and Active Transport NPPF - National Planning Policy Framework
From the council's decision notice.
