Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by virtue of its inappropriate scale, height and external materials would constitute a disproportionate and incongruent development that is not in keeping with the character of the existing building, the street scene and would be harmful to the significance and setting of the conservation area. The development is therefore contrary to policy CP52, CP63 of the Uttlesford District Local Plan (March 2026), Policy SW3 of the Saffron Walden Neighbourhood Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The proposal would be visible from the side windows of no. 2 Park Lane. Given the height and nature of the UPVC panels, in relationship with neighbouring property no. 2 Park Lane, it is considered that the proposal would result in a visual intrusive and overbearing development thereby undermining the amenity enjoy by neighbouring residents. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to policy CP52, of the of the Uttlesford District Local Plan (March 2026) and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
