Why it was refused
- Policy LP24 of the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan requires all development to incorporate a high standard of design which responds to and safeguards the character and appearance of existing buildings, the street scene and surroundings, and be compatible/harmonious with its location. Paragraph 135 of the NPPF provides that planning decisions should, amongst other matters, be visually attractive as a result of good architecture, layout and appropriate and effective landscaping; are sympathetic to local character and history, and establish or maintain a strong sense of place. Rendering the southern elevation would introduce an incongruous, alien feature that lacks compatibility or harmony with the existing pattern of development, representing a harmful intrusion to the existing uniform design and material palette of the crescent shaped built form that includes the host dwelling. The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the site, street scene and surrounding area, such that it is in direct conflict with policies LP03, LP24 of the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan (2023) and Paragraph 135 of the NPPF. The proposal is therefore recommended for refusal. 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 LP23 - Sustainable Construction and Design LP24 - Design and Residential Amenity NPPF - National Planning Policy Framework PPG- Planning Practice Guidance
