Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development results in an incongruous and visually intrusive addition to the
rear elevation of the property, out of character with the predominant local
pattern of development. It is therefore contrary to policy DMS1 of the
Development Management Policies Document (2016), and policy LP1 of the
Local Plan Publication (Regulation 19) version with modifications (2023).
2
The development, by reason of its design and siting, results in unacceptable
impact in terms of noise and disturbance nuisance to the neighbouring
residential properties to the harm of their amenities. Insufficient details have
Director of Environment and Community Services: Paul Chadwick
been provided in respect of noise and attenuation to reduce impact on the
neighbouring residential properties. The development is therefore contrary to
policy DMS1 of the Development Management Policies Document (2016) and
policy LP2 of the Local Plan Publication (Regulation 19) version with
modifications (2023).
In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in
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. However, we have been unable to seek solutions to problems as
the principle of the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and
negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.
