Why it was refused

  1. The positioning, scale and appearance of the car port combined with the loss of established landscaping at the site would detract from the appearance of the application dwelling and would harm the character of the area. Furthermore, insufficient information has been provided as part of this application to fully assess the appearance and scale of the proposed retaining wall at the site’s frontage. Consequently, the proposed development would represent a poor standard of design which would conflict with Policies SP1, SP9 and SADM 16 of the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Local Plan 2016-2036, Policy D2 of Northaw and Cuffley Neighbourhood Plan, the Supplementary Design Guidance and the National Planning Policy Framework.
