Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by virtue of the lack of set back from the front elevation, the horizontal design of the front window, the hipped roof form and the excessive width of the extension would cumulatively result in a development in a prominent location that would have a significant harmful visual impact upon the host dwelling and the street scene to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025) and the supplementary planning guidance document Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).
  2. The proposed development by virtue of the increased parking demand together with the loss of off street car parking spaces to the front and side of the dwelling would result in an increase in on street parking in the vicinity of the site to the detriment of the free flow traffic on Frampton Road as a result of parked cars on both sides of the road and would result in indiscriminate parking that would have a detrimental impact on highway and pedestrian safety contrary to Policies T1, T5 and T6 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2015) and contrary to the supplementary planning guidance document City and County of Swansea Parking Standards (2012).
