About this application

This is a planning application for an extension at 84 St Michaels Crescent Luton LU3 1NA. Luton has handled 2,500 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 48 applications across BARNFIELD. We hold 448 applications in total for the LU3 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The resultant dwelling as indicated on plans 01/05, 02.05, 03.05 and 04.05 by virtue of its scale and roof design represents an incongruous form of development which results in a material change to the character and appearance of the host dwelling. The development appears unduly prominent and disproportionate within its setting, contrary to the prevailing pattern of development and of material detriment to the character of the property. The development would thereby be contrary to Policies LLP1, LLP19 and LLP25 of the Luton Local Plan and the principles relating to high quality and sympathetic design within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
  2. The submitted plans fail to provide an accurate representation of the development. Inaccuracies include additional works that were not part of the approved scheme and are not referenced in the description of development for this retrospective application.

From the council's decision notice.
