- 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.
- The proposal, by reason of siting, shape, size and colour, would represent an overly dominant and incongruous form of development that which will negatively impact the character and appearance of the townscape, surrounding Conservation Area (CA38 High Street Hampton Hill) and nearby Listed Building and create harmful street clutter detrimental to the street scene. The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance and setting of the nearby Listed Building and the Conservation Area more generally. As such, the proposal would be contrary to, in particular, the NPPF, and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Local Plan (2025), policies 28 and 29.
