About this application

This is a planning application for a loft conversion at 37 Grange Road Moorgate 0037. Rotherham has handled 2,491 applications of this type. This one was decided in 54 days, 5 days longer than Rotherham's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 82 applications across Sitwell Ward. We hold 116 applications in total for the S60 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The Council considers that the width of the two storey side extension as constructed creates a visual imbalance in this pair of semi-detached dwellings to the detriment of the visual amenity of the host dwelling and the streetscene. Additionally, the design of the front extensions fails to reflect the architectural style and local vernacular characteristics and uniformity of the streetscene and does not make a positive contribution to the visual appearance of the area. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to the aims of Local Plan Policies CS28 ‘Sustainable Design’ and SP55 ‘Design Principles’ as well as the Supplementary Planning Document – ‘Householder Design Guide’ and would also be in direct conflict with the requirements outlined within the National Planning Policy Framework and the National Planning Policy Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
