Why it was refused
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not result in a disproportionately large increase in the height or scale of the original dwelling and would not materially increase the impact of the dwelling on the appearance of the surrounding countryside, contrary to Policies EN 4 and HO 8 of the adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy, and Policies ENV 8 and HOU 6 of the Emerging Local Plan.
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not result in a significant detrimental impact upon the special qualities and setting of the Norfolk National Landscape (formerly AONB), and open coastal character of the Undeveloped Coast by virtue of the design, scale, massing, level of glazing and potential light pollution of the proposed dwelling and cart lodge, contrary to paragraph 189 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies EN 1, EN 2, EN 3, EN 4 and EN 13 of the adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy and Emerging Local Plan Policies ENV 1, ENV 2, ENV 3, ENV 8 and CC 13.
- Given the overall scale and massing of the proposed extensions and alterations to the existing dwelling and the elevated position of the cart lodge the proposal would result in a degree of 'less than substantial' harm to the Salthouse Conservation Area. It is not considered that any public benefits would outweigh the harm that would be caused to the heritage asset. In addition, insufficient information has been submitted to provide a clear and convincing justification supporting the degree of harm to the designated heritage asset, contrary to paragraphs 212, 213 and 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies EN 4 and EN 8 of the adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy and Emerging Local Plan Policies ENV 7 and ENV 8.
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not have a significant detrimental impact in terms of possible overbearing impacts on the occupiers of the dwelling to the north by virtue of the scale and massing, contrary to Policy EN 4 of the adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy and Emerging Local Plan Policies ENV 6 and ENV 8. This Decision refers only to that required under the Town and Country Planning Acts and does not include any consent or approval under any other enactment, bylaw, order or regulation.
