About this application
This is a planning application for a loft conversion at Windy Ridge Highridge Road Dundry BS41 8JU. North Somerset has handled 17,060 applications of this type. This one was decided in 57 days. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 88 applications across Winford. We hold 520 applications in total for the BS41 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed development would result in a cumulative increase in floor space of approximately 108.8% over the size of the original house, significantly exceeding the 50% threshold set out in Policy DM12 of the Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1). Although this particular application only represents an approximate 9% increase in floor space overall, the cumulative enlargement that has taken place over the last few decades constitutes a disproportionate addition to the original building. By virtue of its scale, it would have a harmful impact on the openness of the Green Belt. The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, contrary to Policy DM12 of the Sites and Policies Plan (Part 1) and Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
From the council's decision notice.
