Why it was refused

  1. The proposed business use of the conservatory is considered to result in an over intensive and harmful use of the site. The intensity and nature of the proposed use is considered to adversely affect the amenity of occupiers of neighbouring properties, through increased noise and disturbance. The proposal is therefore contrary to the provisions of Local Plan policies CLP14 and CLP20 as well as part 8 of the NPPF.
  2. 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 highlighted significant concerns regarding the proposal. Additional supporting information provided by the applicant to address the concerns raised was reviewed by the Local Planning Authority. The additional information and proposed amendments were not considered to be sufficient to mitigate potential adverse amenity impacts arising as a result of the proposal.

From the council's decision notice.
