Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front porch and driveway widening would fail to respect the special character of the Sea Mills Conservation Area and the host dwelling because of the porch's projection forward of the host dwelling, and the loss of green privet hedges and front garden space to hardstanding. It would directly conflict with the Conservation Area's resistance to even slight alterations and extensions to protect Sea Mills' key design elements of flat frontages, uniform square building footprints, green setting, and holistic symmetry from the view of the public realm. As such, the proposal would fail to safeguard or enhance the heritage asset and the character and setting of Sea Mills as an area of acknowledged importance. It would not respect local character and distinctiveness; would fail to respond appropriately to the shape, form and proportion of existing buildings; and would not respond to locally characteristic architectural styles, rhythms, patterns, features, and themes. The proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2026); Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (2014) DM26, DM27, DM30 and DM31; Core Strategy (2011) Policies BCS21 and BCS22; and the Sea Mills Conservation Area Character Appraisal (2011).

From the council's decision notice.
