About this application

This is a planning application for an extension at The Haven Mile Road Widdrington Station Northumberland NE61 5QW. Northumberland (County) has handled 16,734 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days, 7 days 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

  1. The proposed scale, mass, and form of the front and rear additions cannot be considered subordinate or well-related to the existing bungalow and fail to promote good design. The development would result in an over dominant and incongruous addition that does not respect the character of the host dwelling. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy QOP 2 and HOU 9 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the design principles set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. Insufficient information has been submitted to allow a full assessment of the ecological impacts of the development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy ENV 2 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the biodiversity and conservation requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
