The proposed alterations to the front of the building, would disrupt the existing balanced composition of the building and the group properties of which it forms part, would be architecturally inappropriate, and would harm the character and appearance of the front facade. To the rear, the proposed false mansard design would appear contrived and would harm the appearance of the rear of the building. The resultant building, by reason of the increased scale and inappropriate roof extension, would appear as an overly prominent feature within the conservation area, would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the conservation area, and would be contrary to policies CL1, CL2, CL3, CL6, CL8, CL9 and CL11 and the statutory tests.

Refused/No pre-app or discussion
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. A pre-application advice service is also offered. In this case the proposal does not comply with guidance and policies. No pre-application discussions were entered into, but the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of any new planning application.
