The proposed ground and first floor infill extension by virtue of it bulk, size and location on the building, is considered to fail to remain subservient to the original building and to disrupt the rhythm of extensions at the rear of the terrace, to the detriment of the appearance of the building and terrace. The proposal would therefore fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and would cause harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the grade II listed property. The proposal is contrary to the Core Strategy, in particular policies CL1, CL2, CL3 and CL4 and contrary to the Unitary Development Plan, in particular 'saved' policies CD47 and CD63.

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.
