Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/13/03348/FULL
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposed single storey flat roof extension to the front of the host dwelling at No.2 Jennings Close would introduce development hard to the common boundary with the street, in a prominent location in the cul-de-sac road where the surrounding context comprises dual pitched roofs. As such this element would appear a dominant and incongruous form that would have a significant adverse impact upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered out of keeping with the character of the surrounding built form to the detriment of the street scene and local townscape. For these reasons the development is contrary to policy DM3 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2009) and Central Government advise contained with The National Planning Policy Framework (2012) with respect to Section 7 - Requiring Good Design.
2) The proposed extension would have a significant adverse impact upon the amenity of neighbouring occupiers at No.12 Byards Green immediately to the north of the application site. The proposed extension would create an unacceptable sense of enclosure to the small rear garden area of this neighbouring property by virtue of its extension along the remainder of the whole of the common boundary with No.12 Byards Green to the detriment of the level of amenity that occupiers of that dwelling should reasonably expect to enjoy. As such the proposal fails to satisfactorily respond to its surroundings and the constraints of the site and is therefore contrary to Policy DM3 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2009) and Central Government Guidance provided by the National Planning Policy Framework (2012).
