About this application
This is a planning application for a two storey side extension at 22 Rickyard Close Luton LU2 9DB. 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. We hold 963 applications in total for the LU2 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The planning application is submitted with, in the view of the Local Planning Authority, an incorrect certificate of ownership and thereby fails to achieve the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015 and the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
- The development, as indicated on plans numbers A-7 Rev00 and A-8 Rev00, by reason of its scale, size, lack of subordination and awkward design, terracing effect and visually discordant feature, which is out of scale and character with the composition and integrity of the original and surrounding residential dwellings to the detriment of the visual amenities of the surrounding area. It would materially harm rather than improve the character and appearance of the area, and as such would be contrary to Policies LLP1, LLP19 and LLP25 of the Luton Local Plan and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
From the council's decision notice.
