Why it was refused

  1. Poor quality, modern shopfronts and shop signage are resisted by the Shirehampton Character Appraisal in favour of traditional shopfronts inherent to the character of the Shirehampton Conservation Area, which is a designated heritage asset. The proposed ATM, by reason of its modern, poor-quality design, materials and lack of protective design measures, would fail to safeguard or enhance this identified element of the Conservation Area's special character, and instead would harm this heritage asset. The application's Heritage Statement does not provide clear and convincing justification nor evidence of public benefit that would outweigh this harm. As such, the proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as well as Policies BCS21 and BCS22 of the Core Strategy (2011) and Policies DM26, DM30 and DM31 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Local Plan (2014). The development is also contrary to the Shirehampton Conservation Area Character Appraisal (2023).
  2. The proposal would cause increased traffic and illegal on-road street parking, which would lead to the existing footway adjacent to the site becoming unsafe for pedestrian use and vulnerable road users, and the safety of the users of the nearby bus stop to be at risk. The proposal would therefore fail to ensure the provision of safe streets, nor provide safe and adequate access for all sections of the community. Its impacts would constitute unacceptable traffic conditions and an unacceptable impact on highway safety. As such, the proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) as well as Policy BCS10 of the Core Strategy (2011) and Policy DM23 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Local Plan (2014).
