Why it was refused

  1. The proposal, by way of demolition to the semi-detached dwelling, would result in substantial harm to an non-designated heritage asset. This harm would not be outweighed by any other benefit. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy DM48 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan (Part Two).
  2. The proposed replacement dwelling would be significantly larger than the existing dwelling and would result in inappropriate development within the Green Belt. As such be contrary to Policy DM21 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan (Part Two) and the guidance National Planning Policy Framework.
  3. The proposal would not respect local character and achieve a sense of place through appropriate layout and design. Moreover, it is considered that the proposal fails to meet the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework by virtue of failing to achieve a design that is sympathetic to local character and history, including the surrounding built environment and landscape setting, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation or change. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy ENV 6 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan (Part One) and the National Planning Policy Framework Part 12.
  4. The proposal would not pass the three tests as set out in Regulation 58 (3) of The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. This means that the proposal cannot be favourably assessed against Policy ENV 4 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan (Part 1) as well as Policy DM44 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan (Part 2).
