In the past year there have been 21 applications across Cowes South And Northwood. We hold 214 applications in total for the PO31 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed extension to the garage by reason of its position, size, design and appearance would result in an incongruous addition that would be harmful to the open and spacious character of the street scene and detract from the appearance and open setting of the existing dwellinghouse. Therefore, the proposal would result in a harmful visual impact upon the character of the area, failing to comply with Policy DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) of the Island Plan Core Strategy and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The proposed sun room by reason of its position, height and depth directly on the boundary with the adjoining property would be an unneighbourly and intrusive addition that would have a serious and adverse impact on ground floor rear facing windows as well as the private amenity space of the neighbouring property. Therefore, the proposal would fail to comply with Policy DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) of the Island Plan Core Strategy and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
