The proposals would fail to conserve the character and appearance of the host dwelling, terrace grouping and The Billings Conservation Area. The less than substantial harm identified to the significance of the designated heritage asset would not be outweighed by public benefits. As such, the proposed development would be contrary to policies CL1, CL2, CL3, CL6, CL9 and CL11 of the 2019 Local Plan, has failed to have regard to The Billings Conservation Area Appraisal Document and fails to comply with the National Planning Policy Framework.

The proposed development includes the lowering of the lower ground floor, within Flood Zone 3, and a Flood Risk Assessment has not been provided. Insufficient information has therefore been provided to demonstrate that the proposed development would appropriately address and reduce flood risk and its impact. As such, the proposed development would be contrary to policy CE2 of the 2019 Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

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.
