Why it was refused

  1. The removal and widening of the front boundary wall and the formation of a parking space would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area, where the small front gardens and boundary walls of these Victorian houses form an important characteristic of the area. The proposal would therefore neither preserve nor enhance the Boulevard/Montpelier Weston-super-Mare Conservation Area , and is contrary to section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), policies CS5 and CS12 of the Core Strategy (January 2017) and policies DM3 and DM32 of the Sites and Policies Plan Part 1 Development Management Policies (July 2016).

From the council's decision notice.
