Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed roof extension, by reason of its scale, design and location on
what is a largely unbroken roofline, would cause visual harm to the North
terrace as well as to the character of the wider conservation area. It would
introduce and incongruous form to a largely unaltered roofline which forms part
of the significance of the conservation area. It would cause harm to the
Charlwood Road & Lifford Street Conservation Area failing to either preserve or
enhance its significance and is therefore refused. The application contravenes
policies LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP5 of the Local Plan (2023); Section 72 (1) of the
Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990; Policy HC1 (C) of
Director of Environment and Community Services: Paul Chadwick
the London Plan (2021) and paragraphs 199 and 202 of the NPPF (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.
