Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposal, due to the positioning of extensions in close proximity to nearby trees and other vegetation, would likely lead to significant harm to these trees and vegetation, if not their likely future loss, in both the immediate and longer term, to the detriment of their positive wider contribution in respect of visual amenity and character, biodiversity, amenity, and wider climate change and air pollution objectives. The proposal is thus considered to be contrary to the wider aims and objectives of policies P10, P12 and G9 of the Core Strategy, saved policies GP5 and LD1 of the Unitary Development Plan, policy LAND2 of the Natural Resources and Waste DPD, policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD and guidance within the Council's Guideline Distances to Trees from Development Document, BS5837 Trees in Relation to Design, the Council's Householder Design Guide SPD, and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
