Why it was refused

  1. In a very prominent exposed position in the street-scene that would be widely visible to the public, the proposed insertion of an extension to the existing flank wall of the three-storey terrace at Nos.306-316 Fernhill Road of diminutive scale, mass, height and form, and with proportions that would not match those of the existing terrace, is considered to be an unacceptable and poorly- contrived design that would be unsympathetic the building to which it would be affixed and thereby fails to have appropriate regard to the visual character and appearance of the area contrary to the requirements of Local Plan Policy DE1; and is not supported by relevant NPPF (August 2026) National Decision- Making Policies.
  2. The proposal, by reason of inadequate parking provision, poorly designed parking layout, and inadequate and unsafe access to the public highway would be likely to give rise to conditions severely prejudicial to the safety and convenience of highway users contrary to Policies DE1 and IN2 of the adopted Rushmoor Local Plan (2014-2032) and the Council's adopted Car & Cycle Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document (March 2024); and is not supported by relevant NPPF (August 2026) National Decision-Making Policies.
