The proposal, because of the additional height created by the mansard roof, would result in a visually dominant building which would harm the streetscene, failing to respond appropriately to the host building and surrounding context, harming views within the Hans Town conservation area. As such the proposal would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the conservation area and would result in less than significant harm to the heritage asset. Therefore the proposal fails to comply with the Council's adopted planning policies, in particular Core Strategy Policies CL1, CL2, CL3 and 'saved' UDP Policies CD44, CD45 and CD63, as well as guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework.

Refused despite pre-app advice
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website, and offers a pre-application advice service. Pre-application advice was sought and provided. Unfortunately, this advice was not adhered to. Nevertheless, the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of a new planning application.
