About this application

This is a planning application for a garage at 137 Northfield Lane Wickersley 0137. Rotherham has handled 2,491 applications of this type. This one was decided in 46 days, 3 days quicker than Rotherham's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 21 applications across Wickersley North Ward.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed garage by virtue of its siting and appearance to the front of the property, introduces an incongruous feature in the street scene, appears out of keeping, harmful to the area and is detrimental to the appearance of the host property and street scene in general. As such the development is contrary to Local Plan policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Development’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’, as well as the Council’s SPD Householder Design Guide’, Wickersley Neighbourhood Plan, Wickersley Design code and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
