Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its size, position, design, and appearance, would have a visually intrusive and overbearing impact on the host dwelling and the street scene. This conflicts with Policy CS12 of the North Somerset Core Strategy and Policies DM32 and DM38 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan Part 1 and section 2 of the North Somerset Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document.
  2. The proposed works has a clear potential to adverserly affect the structural integrity of a Grade II Listed Boundary wall at Clevedon Hall, due to its proximnity to it. However, insufficient information has been submitted to allow the Local Planning Authority to reach an informed assessment of the impact of the proposal on that wall. This contrary to policy CS5 of the North Somerset Core Strategy, policy DM4 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1), section 16 of the NPPF and sections 16(2) and 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (as amended).
  3. A group of Holm Oak Trees of high amenity value and subject to a Tree Preservation Order located outside the site in the grounds of Clevedon Hall, but close to the boundary of the application site. The proposed development, due to its imemdiacy to these trees, has a clear potential to adversely affect the root protection area of these trees, but insufficient information has been submitted to enable the Local Planning APPLICATION NUMBER - 24/P/0253/FUH
