Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is contrary to national and local flood Policies and offers insufficient regeneration benefit to outweigh the identified flood hazards on and off the site and is contrary to Policies SP1 (Sustainability), SP3 (Flood Risk), GP1 (Climate Change) and GP7 (Environmental Protection) of the adopted Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026 and the advice of TAN 15 in terms of flood interval and flood depth. It has not been demonstrated that flood egress routes would be available during a flood event.
  2. The proposed building would have an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of neighbours via overbearing impact and shading on garden areas at Innsbruck House and No1 Hathaway Street and would create an unacceptable impact on outlook and perceived overlooking in the garden of Innsbruck House unacceptably harming the amenity of neighbouring occupiers contrary to Policy GP2 (Amenity) of the adopted Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026.
  3. The proposed building is prosaic in appearance due to design and materials and is out of character with the residential street context and is visually discordant. It constitutes poor quality development in visual and design terms and is contrary to Newport Local Development Plan Policies GP2ii (Visual Amenity) and GP6 (Quality of Design).

From the council's decision notice.
