Garage Site At Badgers End Wheaton Aston

1. 1.The proposed rear dormer windows, by virtue of their excessive scale, flat-roof design, and collective massing, would fail to appear subordinate to the main roof slopes. The development would result in a bulky, visually intrusive roofscape that is out of character with the traditional architectural vernacular of Wheaton Aston. This, together with the overall compromised design results in a development which lacks visual interest and fails to respond to its context or integrate well into its rural surroundings contrary to Core Strategy policy EQ11, Policy DP3 of the NPPF and the South Staffordshire Design Guide SPD.
2. 2.Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate compliance with mandatory biodiversity net gain, contrary to Policy EQ1 of the Core Strategy and Policy N2 of the NPPF.
3. 3.Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate there would be no adverse in-combination impacts to Cannock Chase SAC, as such the LPA is unable to meet its requirements as Competent Authority under regulation 63 of the Conservation of Species and Habitats Regulations 2017 (as amended) contrary to policy EQ2 of the Core Strategy and policy N6 of the NPPF.
4. 4.Insufficient information has been submitted to determine the impact on retained trees, contrary to Policy EQ4 of the Core Strategy and Policy N2 of the NPPF.
5. 5.Insufficient information has been provided to determine the impact on Staffordshire County Council maintained land (HMPE), contrary to Policy TR4 of the NPPF and policy EQ11 of the Core Strategy.
