Why it was refused
- The proposal would result in an overly large dwelling within this modest plot resulting in a cramped and overdeveloped appearance. The dwelling would fail to contribute to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and adjoining conservation area contrary to the requirements of Northumberland Local Plan Policy HOU 9, QOP 2 and ENV 7 and the NPPF.
- The proposal would fail to provide a high standard of amenity for existing and future users of the development and would cause unacceptable harm to the amenity of the neighbouring occupiers through the overall height, width and close proximity to the boundary and overbearing harm contrary to the requirements of the Northumberland Local Plan Policy HOU 9, QOP 2 and the NPPF.
- Insufficient information has been submitted to overcome the concerns raised with regards to the visibility splays, sightlines and access from the site which would ensure the scheme did not have an unacceptable impact on highway safety contrary to the requirements of the Northumberland Local Plan Policy TRA 2 and the requirements of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
