Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of the continued failure to provide appropriate soft landscaping to the front of the site, would result in an unduly hard and urbanised form of frontage that is out of keeping with the prevailing character of the street, which is defined by low boundary treatments complemented by hedging and planted front gardens. The absence of such landscaping would fail to adequately soften the visual impact of the boundary wall, access ramp, driveway, bin storage, associated hardstanding and the enlarged main building on the site, resulting in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies P10 and P12 of the Core Strategy, saved policies GP5, LD1 and N25 of the Unitary Development Plan, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD and guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
