Why it was refused
- The proposed amendments would be materially different to the details approved under UTT/24/0379/HHF, as they would result in the potential impact to the visual amenity of the dwelling, the street scene and heritage assets. In the context of the approved development, the proposed amendment does not represent a ''non-material amendment' under Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
From the council's decision notice.
