Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front boundary treatment by reason of its height and width would result in an uncharacteristic and duly prominent form of development which would detract from the visual amenities of Westbury Road and the openness of the locality. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy CP12 of the Core Strategy, Policy DM1 and Appendix 2 of the Development Management Policies and Policies BW DE1 of the Batchworth Neighbourhood Plan (2025
  2. The provision of an additional vehicular crossover would result in the creation of an additional point of conflict between pedestrians using the footway and vehicles entering/egressing the site which would be detrimental to users of the highway. The development is therefore contrary to Policy CP10 of the Core Strategy (adopted October 2011), HCC's Local Transport Plan (LTP4) 2018 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

From the council's decision notice.
