Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its prominent position, scale and design, would appear out of character within the surrounding street scene and would lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of non-designated and designated heritage assets, including Whickham Conservation Area, that would not be outweighed by public benefits. As such, it would be contrary to the requirements of the NPPF and policies CS15, MSGP24 and MSGP25 of the Local Plan for Gateshead, as well as the requirement for special attention to be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of a conservation area in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
  2. The development, by virtue of its scale, design and prominent position, would result in an incongruous and intrusive addition to the host property, that would appear incompatible with local character and result in unacceptable harm to visual amenity and the streetscene. The development is therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policies CS15 and MSGP24 of the Local Plan for Gateshead. Neil Wilkinson Acting Service Director, Climate Change, Compliance, Planning and Transport Economy, Innovation and Growth.
