Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been submitted to enable the Highway Development Management Team to make a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the proposal on highway safety. The proposal does not therefore comply with Policies TRA 2 and TRA 4 of the Northumberland Local Plan, nor with the relevant provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
  2. The application has not been supported by adequate ecological information and biodiversity net gain calculations necessary to assess the effects of the development on biodiversity and to demonstrate compliance with the statutory biodiversity net gain requirements. The proposal does not therefore comply with Policy ENV 2 of the Northumberland Local Plan, nor with the relevant provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
  3. In the absence of a completed planning obligation securing a financial contribution to the Council's Coastal Mitigation Service or any other satisfactory alternative mitigation the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the integrity of the Northumbria Coast SPA and therefore approval of this application would be contrary to Regulation 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. Similarly it would have an adverse effect on the interest features of the Northumberland Shore SSSI and therefore approval of the application would be inconsistent with the Local Planning Authority's duties under S.28G of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as amended. The application therefore conflicts with policies ENV 2 and INF 6 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  4. The proposal would incorporate the entire rear garden amenity space belonging to no. 13 Rothsay Terrace. As such, this conflicts with Policy HOU 9 of the Northumberland Local Plan which requires development to retain garden/yard space for the dwelling.
