1. 1.The proposed development proposes changes to and the movement of a footway which lies beyond the red line boundary as indicated on the submitted plans. This constitutes development outside the red line boundary and fails to comply with Section 7(1)(c)(i) of Part 3 of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015.
2. 2.The proposed development, by reason of its inappropriate size and scale, siting, design details and roof forms, is of poor design quality. It fails demonstrate an understanding of contextual features of the site and the proposal's relationship with the streetscene. Therefore, the proposal would conflict with policy GEN2 of the adopted Uttlesford Local Plan (2005), Core Policy 52 of the emerging Uttlesford Local Plan, policy NQRHD2 of the Newport and Quendon & Rickling Neighbourhood Plan (2021), the adopted Supplementary Planning Document Uttlesford District-Wide Design Code (2024), and paragraphs 135 and 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
3. 3.Insufficient information has been provided within the application relating to trees and landscaping. In the absence of this information and clarity on the impacts upon the existing trees and landscaping, the proposal would lead to a poor-quality design and possible unacceptable impacts upon the existing vegetation and trees on the site. Therefore, the proposal would conflict with policy GEN2 and ENV3 of the adopted Uttlesford Local Plan (2005), Core Policy 39 and Core Policy 52 of the emerging Uttlesford Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
4. 4.Insufficient information has been supplied within the application to demonstrate that there would not be an unacceptable impact on the surrounding public highway as a result of the proposal. The lack of such certainty could mean that the proposal would create an unacceptable degree of hazard to highway users, especially pedestrians, to the detriment of highway safety. This is contrary to policy GEN1 of the Uttlesford District Local Plan (as Adopted), Core Policy 27 of the emerging Local Plan, and paragraphs 115(b) and 116 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
5. 5.Insufficient off-street parking has been demonstrated within the application to meet the needs of the dwelling's occupiers. This could lead to the occupiers parking on the street and/or the occupiers' vehicles obstructing the public highway, to the detriment and compromise of highway safety. The proposal is contrary to policies GEN1 and GEN8 of the adopted Uttlesford Local Plan (2005), Core Policy 27 and Core Policy 31 of the emerging Uttlesford Local Plan, policy NQRHD1 of the Newport and Quendon & Rickling Neighbourhood Plan (2021), the adopted Uttlesford Local Residential Parking Standards (2013), the adopted Essex County Council Parking Standards (2009), the Parking Guidance - Part 1: Parking Standards Design and Good Practice (September 2024) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
