Why it was refused
- The proposed front extension, which projects beyond the existing principal elevation, would disrupt the simple, linear form that is characteristic of this historic cottage. The extent of glazing proposed would appear overly prominent on the principal elevation. Together, the forward projection and large glazed areas would draw undue attention to the extension, undermining the visual primacy and legibility of the non-designated heritage asset. As a result, the proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of both the non-designated heritage asset and the Warkton Conservation Area. The development therefore conflicts with Policies 2 and 8 (d)(i) and (ii) of the 26/00091/HFUL North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, and with paragraphs 135(c), 215, and 216 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The cottages (14 and 15 Warkton) form a visually unified pair; the proposal would result in a mismatch of roof materials, unbalancing the uniformity of the cottages that would result in unacceptable harm to the non designated heritage asset and to the character and appearance of the Warkton Conservation Area. The proposal therefore does not comply with Policy 2 and Policy 8 (d) (i) and (ii) of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy and conflicts with the objectives of Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework, paragraphs 215, 216, and 135 (c).
