About this application

This is a planning application at 11 Beachside Chalets Marsh Road Gurnard Cowes Isle Of Wight PO31 8HX. Isle of Wight has handled 12,897 applications of this type. This one was decided in 55 days. The site is in a conservation area. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 214 applications in total for the PO31 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dwelling due to the design, height and orientation of the roof would result in an excessively high structure out of keeping with the surrounding small scale structures, in particular the row of buildings known as Beachside Chalets, thereby appearing incongruous within the streetscene and harming the character of the area, consequently being contrary to Policies DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) and DM11 (Historic and Built Environment) of the Island Plan Core Strategy and guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
