About this application
This is a planning application for a change of use at 629 Bradford Road Brighouse Calderdale HD6 4DN. Calderdale has handled 4,701 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 198 applications in total for the HD6 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed shopfront, by virtue of its excessive fascia proportions, generic design approach, poor integration with the host building, and failure to respond positively to the established character of the surrounding streetscape, would result in a visually incongruous and insufficiently contextual form of development that fails to achieve a high standard of design quality. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy BT1 (High Quality Inclusive Design) and RT2 (Primary Shopping Areas and Shopping Frontages) of the Calderdale Local Plan and the principles of the Calderdale Placemaking and Design Guide SPD, in particular those relating to local distinctiveness, contextual response, and high quality built form.
From the council's decision notice.
