About this application
This is a planning application for a front extension at Clifton Ridge 17 Great North Road Clifton Northumberland NE61 6DQ. Northumberland (County) has handled 16,734 applications of this type. This one was decided in 99 days, 7 weeks longer than Northumberland (County)'s typical decision time. There have been 2 other applications at this address. We hold 1,506 applications in total for the NE61 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed extensions to the main dwellinghouse and the two storey detached garage constitute inappropriate development within the Green Belt and do not fall within any of the exceptions listed in paragraph 154 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). In this instance, very special circumstances have not been demonstrated that would outweigh the harm caused to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness. The proposal is therefore unacceptable as a matter of principle and in Green Belt terms and fails to accord with Policies STP 7 and STP 8 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the relevant provisions of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
