Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reason of its scale, design and siting it is considered that the proposed two-
storey side extension and rear dormer roof addition would compete for
dominance with the existing house and harm the symmetry of the semi
detached pair. It is therefore considered that the proposed development would
cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the
conservation area, with no public benefit identified to outweigh this harm,
contrary to Policy HC1 of the London Plan; DMPD policies DMS1, DMS2 and
DMH5; the Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Strategy,
Wandsworth's Housing SPD and the NPPF.
In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in
Director of Environment and Community Services: Paul Chadwick
the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive
and proactive manner and the Council has, as far as practicable, sought
solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the planning application.
We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in
the Local Plan consisting of the Core Strategy, Development Management
Policies Document, Supplementary Planning documents and where appropriate
the Site Specific Allocations Document as well as offering a full pre application
advice service, in order to ensure that the applicant has been given every
opportunity to submit an application which is likely to be considered favourably.
In addition further guidance was offered to the applicant by the case officer
during the processing of the application to identify amendments to address
those elements of the scheme considered unacceptable. However, the
necessary amendments to make the application acceptable are substantial and
would materially change the development proposal. They would require further
consultations to be undertaken prior to determination, which could not take
place within the statutory determination period specified by the Department of
Communities and Local Government. You are therefore encouraged to consider
submission of a fresh application incorporating the material amendments set out
below which are necessary to make the scheme acceptable.
Required amendments:
-Reduce scale of rear dormer roof addition
-Reduce height and depth of proposed two-storey side extension
