Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would comprise a disproportionate increase in size over and above that of the original building and would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt. The proposal does not therefore meet the exceptions set out in Policy GB7 of the National Planning Policy Framework and as such is considered inappropriate development in the Green Belt. There are no very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness or any other harm resulting from the proposal. The development is therefore contrary to Policy GB1 of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations and Policy GB6 and GB7 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposed side extension, due to its design, footprint, scale and massing would be an incongruous addition to the existing dwelling and would not respect its character and appearance. The proposal would appear as a discordant and disproportionate addition to the host dwelling and would fail to comply with the requirements of Policies D1, D2 and D8 of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations, and the Policy DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  3. Insufficient information has been provided to adequately assess the potential impact of the development on protected species (including bats). This is contrary to Policy BG2 of the SLP: DMP which aims to avoid adverse impacts on biodiversity and Policy D2 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Article 35 Declaration The proposal would not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area nor does it comply with the development plan and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no amendments to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed, which could have made the development acceptable and it was therefore not possible to approve the application.

From the council's decision notice.
