Single storey side extension

1. The proposed single storey side extension by reason of its scale would result in an overly dominant and incongruous form of development that fails to appear subservient to the host dwelling. 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). Refusal Statement Informative The Local Planning Authority is aware of the requirement of paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive, proactive and creative manner, seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the application. In this case, after careful balanced consideration the LPA/Officers considers that there are insurmountable technical issues relating to design and the wider area 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.
