1)
The proposed installation of metal railings set within the rear butterfly style parapet at main roof level by virtue of their location, position and detailed design would result in harm to the character and appearance of the building, the terrace of which it forms part and the Norland Conservation Area. As such the proposal is considered contrary to policy expressed in the Unitary Development Plan 2002, as amended 28th September 2007, in particular Policies CD27, CD35, CD40, CD46, CD50, CD51, CD61, CD62 and the Proposed Submission Core Strategy Policies CL2, CL3, CL5 and CL6.
2)
The proposed metal railings, by virtue of their elevated location and position to neighbouring properties, facilitate the use of the flat roof as a terrace which would result in an unacceptable material increase in overlooking, associated noise and disturbance to the adverse harm of the surrounding properties. As such the proposal is considered contrary to policy expressed in the Unitary Development Plan 2002, as amended 28th September 2007, in particular Policies CD35, CD40, CD46 and the Proposed Submission Core Strategy Policy CL5.
