75 Green Park Road Halifax Calderdale HX3 0SN

1. 1.The proposed extension, by reason of its scale, width, depth and overall massing, would result in the loss of all of the rear garden area and would undermine and erode the suburban pattern of development and plot layout which contributes positively to the character and appearance of the Skircoat Green Conservation Area. Owing to its prominent corner plot position, the extension would be readily visible from public vantage points and would appear as an intrusive form of development that fails to preserve the significance, character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies HE1 and BT1 of the Calderdale Local Plan, Policies L2(d), HE4, HE6 and HE9 of the National Planning Policy Framework and the statutory duty contained within Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
2. 2.The proposed extension, by virtue of its scale, width, depth and overall massing and siting, would constitute a bulky and incongruous addition that would fail to respect the form of the host dwelling. Furthermore, the proposal would result in the loss of all of the rear garden area and would undermine and erode the suburban pattern of development and plot layout. When considered alongside the substantial two-storey extension previously added to the property, the proposal would result in the over development of the site, harming the character of the plot and creating a dominant and visually intrusive form of development. The proposal would therefore fail to respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, contrary to Policy BT1 of the Calderdale Local Plan and Policies L2(d) and DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
3. 3.The proposed extension, by virtue of its scale, depth, massing and proximity to neighbouring residential properties, would create a visually dominant and overbearing form of development. The extension would significantly diminish the sense of openness at the rear of the site, creating a pronounced pinch point between neighbouring garden areas and resulting in an unacceptable sense of enclosure and adverse impact on the outlook enjoyed by adjacent occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy BT2 of the Calderdale Local Plan and Policy L2(d) of the National Planning Policy Framework.
