The proposal would, therefore, be contrary to Polices LLP1, LLP25 and LLP31 of the Luton Local Plan 2011-2031 and the principles relating to high quality, sympathetic design which improves the character and quality of an area within Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, or the Framework).
