About this application

This is a planning application for a dormer extension at High Mead The Green Edge Lane Edge Stroud Gloucestershire GL6 6PB. Stroud has handled 7,916 applications of this type. This one was decided in 89 days, 6 weeks longer than Stroud's typical decision time. The site is in 1 listed building nearby. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 3,130 applications in total for the GL6 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey extension, by virtue of its depth, forward projection beyond the original building line, contrived roof form incorporating an extensive area of concealed flat roof, and unsympathetically designed and positioned dormers, together with the concealed flat roof proposed on the single-storey south elevation extension, would result in overly dominant and incongruous additions that fails to relate satisfactorily to the scale, character and architectural form of the host dwelling. As such, the proposal would represent poor design that would be harmful to the appearance of the property and the surrounding area, contrary to Policies HC8(2) and CP14(5) of the Stroud District Council Local Plan and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. In the absence of a Preliminary Roost Assessment or sufficient ecological information, the application has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not adversely affect bats and their roosting habitats. The Local Planning Authority is therefore unable to adequately assess the ecological impacts of the development or conclude that protected species and biodiversity interests would be safeguarded. The proposal is consequently contrary to Policy ES6 of the Stroud District Council Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
