Why it was refused
- The information submitted as part and in support of this proposal has been found to be inacurrate. The proposed plans fail to scale accurately, suggesting that the extension would have a height of 1.8m. This has resulted in difficulties in the formal assessment of the overall resulting design and its potential impact on the charcater of the area. Given this, the Local Planning Authority can only conclude that without accurate plans or justifications to the contrary the proposal represents poor design which is both unsympathetic to house and local character of the location and is therefore contrary to Core Policy CP3, Policy BE1 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy, Policy B5 of the Burntwood Neighbourhood Plan, the Lichfield District Design Code and the guidance in the NPPF.
- Insufficient information and incorrect information on the application form has been submitted to allow the Local Planning Authority to fully assess the potential impact of the proposed development on trees protected by Tree Preservation Order (TPOs) within the site In the absence of any detailed Arboricultural Impact Assessment, tree protection the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the proposals would safeguard the health and longevity of the protected trees. As such, the proposal is considered contrary to Policies CP3 (Delivering Sustainable Development) , BE1 (High Quality Development) and NR4 (trees woodlands and hedgerows)) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy, Policy B5 of the Burntwood Neighbourhood Plan and the guidance within Landscaping and Development Supplementary Planning Document , and Chapter 15 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), which require applicants to demonstrate that development will not result in harm to important trees.
From the council's decision notice.
