65 Drynham Road, Trowbridge, BA14 0PF

1. 1.The proposed development by reason of its built form, height, mass, scale, elevational design and rooflines fails to respond positively or effectively to the site and its setting and as such would result in demonstrable adverse impact on the street scene and would not make a positive contribution to the character of the locality. The development is therefore contrary to Core Policy 57 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy, with particular regard to (iii) and (vi), the adopted Wiltshire Design Guide and the National Planning Policy Framework with particular regard to paragraphs 135 and 139.
2. 2.The proposed development by reason of its height, massing and siting close to the side boundaries would result in an unacceptable overbearing impact having regard to the use of the conservatory and private outside amenity space to the rear of 65a Drynham Road and overshadowing effect on windows on the south elevation of the host dwelling. As such, the proposal fails to comply with Core Policy 57 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy, with particular regard to (vii), the Wiltshire Design Guide and paragraph 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework which collectively require new development to be compatible with adjoining buildings and to ensure that developments have a high standard and appropriate level of amenity for existing and future users.
