Why it was refused

  1. The proposed porch, as a result of its scale and mass, would result in an incongruous form of development that would erode the symmetry of the host property and detract from the uniformity of the wider area. It would therefore harm to the host property and character and appearance of the area, contrary to the provisions of the Local Plan policy CLP20 and Part 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Statement of Positive and Pro-active Working with Applicant In accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2015 and paragraph 39 of the 2024 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) as the proposed development does not conflict with the NPPF or with 'up-to-date' policies of the Local Plan, it is considered to be 'sustainable development' to which the presumption in favour of the development applies. The Local Planning Authority considered the merits of the submitted application and judged that there was no prospect of resolving the fundamental planning problems with it through negotiation.

From the council's decision notice.
