Decision details

This case has not yet been decided.

Decision: Refuse Planning Permission/Consent
Decision date: 09 May 2024
Conditions and reasons:

1)

The proposed roof terrace and associated metal railings would be uncharacteristic and unsympathetic, and by reason of their siting on the top of the approved mansard roof addition and its projection above the height of neighbouring properties, would detract from the uniform roofscape, townscape and roofline which is not broken by roof terraces and metal railings. Consequently, the development would appear incongruous, out of place and character with its context, as well as obtrusive within the terrace group on which it forms a part, failing to preserve the character and appearance of the host building, group of buildings and conservation area and the views enjoyed within it, contrary to the policies of the Local Plan 2019, in particular policies CL1, CL2, CL3, CL8, and CL11 and guidance within the NPPF and statute with regard to assessment of proposed development within conservation areas.

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.
