By reason of the design, scale and massing, the proposed mansard roof extension, associated terraces and domestic paraphernalia would appear as prominent additions to the building which would fail to preserve or enhance the character of the building and the conservation area, contrary to Policies CL1, CL2, CL3, CL8, CL9 and CL11 of the Consolidated Local Plan (2015).

The proposed terraces, by reason of their size and siting in relation to neighbouring properties, including the adjoining school, would result in an unacceptable level of overlooking, loss of privacy and noise and disturbance. The proposal would therefore fail to ensure good living conditions for neighbouring properties, contrary to Policy CL5 of the Consolidated Local Plan (2015).

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.
