About this application

This is a planning application at 18 Goodyers Avenue Radlett Hertfordshire WD7 8BA. Hertsmere has handled 7,138 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There have been 5 other applications at this address. We hold 1,025 applications in total for the WD7 postcode area.

Why it was refused

The proposed development, by virtue of its visually prominent siting, scale, height, design, materials and appearance, would appear unduly dominant within the street scene and would not accord with the prevailing open character of the street scene which is characterised by low level and verdant boundary treatment. By virtue of its prominent appearance, the proposed development would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area. Therefore, the proposal would conflict with the NPPF 2024, Policies SADM12 and SADM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Polices Plan (2016), Policies CS22 and CS12 of Hertsmere's Core Strategy (2016) and Policy HD3 of The Radlett Neighbourhood Plan as Adopted (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
