Why it was refused
- The proposed garage, by reason of its scale and siting within the street scene would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies LP18 and LP21 of the King's Lynn and West Norfolk Local Plan 2021-2040 and Policies H2, H3 and H5 of the South Wootton Neighbourhood Plan, where they require development to respond to the character and context of places, and for its scale, height, and layout to respond sensitively and sympathetically to the local setting. There are no material considerations that outweigh this departure from the Development Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
