About this application
This is a planning application for a single storey rear extension at Little Clouds Ford Hill Little Hadham Hertfordshire SG11 2AZ. East Hertfordshire has handled 13,484 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days, 7 days quicker than East Hertfordshire's typical decision time. The site is in the Hadham Ford conservation area, with 3 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 134 applications across Little Hadham & The Pelhams. We hold 1,242 applications in total for the SG11 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed extensions, by reason of their size, scale, mass, siting and design, would fail to represent subservient additions to the existing dwelling and would overwhelm the host property. The extensions would appear incongruous, dominant and visually intrusive within in the context of the site, the pair of semi-detached properties and the Conservation Area. Therefore, the proposed development would not represent a high standard of design. The character and appearance of the host dwelling, the pair of properties, the street scene and the Conservation Area would be harmed. The significance of the Conservation Area would not be preserved. As such, the proposals would be contrary to Policies HOU11, DES4, HA1, HA4 and VILL2 of the East Herts District Plan 2018, the NPPF 2024 and the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
From the council's decision notice.
