Why it was refused
- The proposal would introduce prominent extensions and alterations to the principal elevation of the existing dwelling. These works, as a result of the design, fenestration and materials proposed, would result in unsympathetic extensions and detailing to the host property, which would harmfully detract from the character and appearance of the host property and area. This is contrary to Local Plan policy CLP20, the Supplementary Planning Document 'Successful Places' 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 conflicts with the NPPF and with 'up-to-date' policies of the Local Plan, it is not 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 requested the submission of revised plans. Revised plans were submitted late in the application process and did not address the concerns raised by the Authority.
From the council's decision notice.
