Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in the loss of the property's distinctive semi- circular entrance feature, obscuring a characteristic architectural element that contributes positively to the character and appearance of the host dwelling. When viewed in the context of the adjoining properties, which share a similar architectural style and retain this defining feature, the proposal would fail to respect or reinforce the established architectural character and local distinctiveness of the row. The resulting development would appear incongruous within the street scene and would represent poor quality design, contrary to Policies D1, D2 and D8 of the Salford Local Plan: Development Management Policies and Designations and Section 12 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.
