About this application
This is a planning application for a front extension at Grays Complentary Clinic 2 Cromwell Road Grays Essex RM17 5HF. Thurrock has handled 1,338 applications of this type. This one was decided in 100 days, 6 weeks longer than Thurrock's typical decision time. There have been 2 other applications at this address. In the past year there have been 1 application across Earl Shilton. We hold 215 applications in total for the RM17 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed front extension, by reason of its width, forward projection and siting across the frontage of the site, would erode the existing forecourt area which contributes positively to the established pattern of development along Cromwell Road. The development would disrupt the prevailing building line, diminish the open and spacious character associated with this prominent corner plot and appear as a visually dominant and incongruous addition within the street scene. The proposal would therefore fail to respond positively to the local context and would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies CSTP22 (Thurrock Design), CSTP23 (Thurrock Character and Distinctiveness) and PMD2 (Design and Layout) of the Thurrock Core Strategy and Policies for the Management of Development DPD (2015)
From the council's decision notice.
