About this application

This is a planning application for a garage at The Thrift Bridgwater Road Winscombe BS25 1NB. North Somerset has handled 17,060 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 137 applications across Banwell And Winscombe. We hold 1,140 applications in total for the BS25 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its siting, massing, scale, proportions, the potential loss of visually important trees will be out of keeping with the existing property and will result in a visually intrusive feature in the street scene, contrary to policy CS12 of the North Somerset Core Strategy, policies DM32 and DM38 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1) and the North Somerset Residential Design Guide SPD (Section 2: Appearance and Character of house extensions and alterations).
  2. The proposed development, by virtue of its siting, levels, massing, scale, proportions, and its proximity to the site's boundaries, would have an adverse impact upon the living conditions of neighbouring residents at Willow House by reason of overbearing impact and loss of outlook. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies DM32 and DM38 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1) and the North Somerset Residential Design Guide SPD (Section 1: Protecting living conditions of neighbours).

From the council's decision notice.
