Decision details

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

·         Ms J Bonsall, Applicant

Members felt that an alternative design would be considered more favourably and officers agreed with this.  The Planning officer stated that 2 alternative proposals had been put forward by the applicant but these were still not suitable.

The recommendation for refusal was moved and seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1.    The proposed rear extension by virtue of its scale, massing and design, fails to reflect the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and its setting. In addition the proposal fails to address the requirements of policy CC1 as it does not demonstrate that the scheme addresses sustainability and climate change mitigation. As such, the development is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Core Strategy Policies GSP1, GSP2, GSP3, CC1 and Development Management Policies DMC3 & DMH7.
