Decision & conditions
decisionPlanning conditions
- The proposed porches, by reason of their siting, scale and relationship with the host building and its neighbours, would represent an overly dominant and incongruous form of development that which will negatively impact the character and appearance of the host property and streetscape. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the NPPF, the House Extensions and External Alterations SPD and the Local Plan policy 28.
- In accordance with paragraphs 38-42 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Richmond upon Thames Borough Council takes a positive and proactive approach to the delivery of sustainable development, by: * Providing a formal pre-application service * Providing written policies and guidance, all of which is available to view on the Council's website * Where appropriate, negotiating amendments to secure a positive decision * Determining applications in a timely manner. In this instance: * The applicants did not seek formal pre-application advice, and the scheme was found to be contrary to policy and guidance, and subsequently refused. The Council is ready to enter into discussions, through the Council's formal pre-application service, to advise the applicants of relevant policy and guidance; and where possible assist in the preparation of a new planning permission. More information on the pre-application service and relevant fees can be found online at www.richmond.gov.uk/pre-application_for_developers.
