Why it was refused

  1. The proposal introduces an incongruous form of development which fails to respond to, integrate with or enhance the wider context and linear form of development on Equity Road East, creating detrimental impacts to the character of the area. The benefits of the development are substantially outweighed by the adverse effects. The development is therefore contrary to Policy DM10 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016), Policy 22 of the Earl Shilton and Barwell Area Action Plan (2014), Policy DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026) and the Good Design Guide (2020).
  2. The proposal would cause detrimental impacts to future occupiers of the proposed development through conflict with the 45-degree rule, creating impacts on light and outlook on habitable rooms, therefore contrary the Policy DM10 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016), Policy P3 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026) and the Good Design Guide (2020).

From the council's decision notice.
