Why it was refused
- By reason of its inappropriate bulk, scale, design and siting, the proposed car port and walling/gates to the side of the dwelling would result in an overly dominant, incongruous form of development out of keeping with the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, street scene and surrounding area. The impact of which would be exacerbated by the siting of the proposed carport on a prominent site making the proposal particularly visible and prominent. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies 6 and 44 of the Oadby & Wigston Local Plan and the Residential Development Supplementary Planning Document (2026).
- The proposed boundary brick wall and pillars, by virtue of their inappropriate height, scale and number of pillars, would erode the open nature of the area at a highly prominent corner location, to the detriment of the area and host dwelling as a whole. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies 6 and 44 of the Oadby & Wigston Local Plan and the Residential Development Supplementary Planning Document (2026).
From the council's decision notice.
