Why it was refused
- The application fails to make a positive contribution or be sympathetic to local character and the street scene, and proposes a development that would be visually obtrusive. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies QOP 1, QOP 2 and HOU 9 of the Northumberland Local, Policies PNP 2 and PNP 4 of the Ponteland Neighbourhood Plan, and the NPPF.
- The proposal fails to provide sufficient information considering the ecological impacts of the proposed development. As a result of this, the ecological impact of the proposed development cannot be fully assessed. Therefore, the application is considered to be contrary to Policies ENV 1 and ENV 2 of the Northumberland Local Plan and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
