Why it was refused

It would materially harm rather than improve the character and appearance of the 19th March 2026 See Notes for Applicants Attached.

- The development, as indicated on plans numbers DOC01B, DOC03B, DOC04B, DOC05B, DOC06B, DOC07B and PL02B, by reason of its wrapped around form with undercroft support feature and its overall unsympathetic design, represent an overdevelopment of the site, resulting in significant damage to the design and character of the street scene. The proposal would, therefore, be contrary to Policies LLP1, LLP19 and LLP25 within 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.
