The property occupies a prominent location within the Ladbroke Conservation Area, whereby upper floor level additions should be sensitively designed so as not to harm the character and appearance of the area. The proposed mansard extension, by reason of its height, bulk and resulting projection above the existing parapet of the property, would result in an overly prominent feature in the streetscene that fails to preserve the special architectural character of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies CL1, CL2, CL3, CL6, CL8, CL9 and CL11 of the Local Plan as well as guidance contained within the Ladbroke Conservation Area Appraisal Statement.

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.
