Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- REASON: The proposal fails to accord with Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.2(1)(f) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The applicant has failed to demonstrate that all habitable rooms to the proposed Flats 1 and 3 would be provided with adequate natural light as the submitted daylight assessment has been carried out using a layout of windows which is not consistent with the submitted floor plans, therefore, does not satisfy Class AB.2 (1)(f). This is contrary to the NPPF, the GPDO and the Local Plan Development Framework policies insofar as they are material considerations relevant to the prior approval matters.

- REASON: The proposed development fails to accord with Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB.2(1)(e) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The proposed extension by reason of its design, siting, scale, materiality, poorly integrated fenestration and contrasting style to the original building would result in a visually discordant, incongruous and incohesive development. The development would result in unacceptable visual harm and unacceptably detract from the character and appearance of the local townscape. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DP3 of the NPPF, the GPDO and the Local Plan Development Framework policies insofar as they are material considerations relevant to the prior approval matters.
