Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The proposed development due to its flat roofed design to both side elevations would form a discordant and incongruous addition to the existing dwelling which would result in a detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the property and the visual amenity of the surrounding area. As such the proposed development is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy ENV3 of the Black Country Core Strategy (2011), Policies, S6 and L1 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy (2017) and the Residential Design Guide SPD (2023). The Local Planning Authority is aware of the requirement of paragraph 39 in the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner, seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the application. In this case, there are insurmountable technical issues relating to the design that have not been satisfactorily resolved to demonstrate that the scheme would result in the creation of a sustainable form of development and thereby failing to improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area.
