About this application

This is a planning application for demolition at 25 Mile House Lane St Albans Hertfordshire AL1 1TF. St Albans has handled 12,340 applications of this type. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 51 applications across Cunningham. We hold 3,222 applications in total for the AL1 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The two-storey front extension, by reason of its design, scale and visibility within the street scene, would introduce an incongruous element out of character with the main building and contrary to the prevailing character of the area resulting in harm to the character and appearance of the site and the street scene. The development would be contrary to the aims of Policies 69 (General Design and Layout) and 72 (Extensions in Residential Areas) of the St. Albans District Local Plan Review 1994, emerging policies SP12 and DES1 of St Albans Draft Local Plan 2041 and the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
