About this application

This is a planning application at 33 Bloomfield Cottages Bellingdon Buckinghamshire HP5 2XR. Buckinghamshire has handled 10,836 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. The site is in 3 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 981 applications in total for the HP5 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to describe the proposed development with sufficient clarity and precision. Whilst the submitted drawings indicate the general location of the proposed photovoltaic panels, insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate how the panels would be installed in relation to the roof slope, including the extent of any projection above the roof surface. In the absence of a section drawing, dimensioned elevation or other site-specific detail, the Local Planning Authority is unable to fully understand and assess the appearance and visual impact of the proposed development. The application therefore fails to provide the information necessary to enable a proper assessment of the proposal and is contrary to Policies CS20, GC1 and H15 of the The Chiltern Local Plan (Adopted 1 September 1997 (including alterations adopted 29 May 2001) Consolidated September 2007 & November 2011) and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
