Why it was refused
- Reason One: In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed development, by reason of its nature and location within an area that experiences existing issues of crime and anti-social behaviour, would be likely to generate activity that could increase and exacerbate such incidents. The development would therefore have the potential to materially undermine the wellbeing and sense of security of nearby residents, visitors and users of the district centre, to the detriment of the character and amenities of the area. Consequently, the proposal is considered to be contrary to paragraph 135(f) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2025), and Policy SD8 of the Stockton- on-Tees Local Plan. Reason Two: In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed development, by reason of its form, layout and associated land uses, would fail to preserve or enhance the vitality and viability of Thornaby District Centre. The proposal would result in a form of development that is physically and functionally detached from the wider centre, diminishing its cohesion and sense of place and as a result, has the potential to undermine planned and committed investment within the district centre having an adverse effect on its character and function. As such, the proposal is considered to be contrary to the objectives of Policy EG2(6) and Policy SD8 of the Stockton-on-Tees Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
