Decision & conditions
DecisionPlanning conditions
- The proposed outbuilding, by reason of its siting, scale, bulk and massing, would represent an overly dominant and incongruous form of development that would negatively impact the character and appearance of the host property and wider locality. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the NPPF, Policy 28 of the Local Plan (2025) and the House Extensions and External Alterations SPD (2015).
- The proposed outbuilding by reason of its scale, depth, height and siting on the shared boundary would result in a dominant addition which has the potential to appear visually intrusive, restrict sunlight/daylight and create a sense of enclosure to the ground floor rear window and external private amenity space serving 5 and 6 Beverley Road. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the NPPF (2024), Policy 46 of the Local Plan (2025) and the House Extensions and External Alterations SPD (2015)
- 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: {\b o} Providing a formal pre-application service {\b o} Providing written policies and guidance, all of which is available to view on the Council's website {\b o} Where appropriate, negotiating amendments to secure a positive decision {\b o} Determining applications in a timely manner. In this instance: {\b o} 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 to advise the applicants of relevant policy and guidance; and where possible assist in the preparation of a new planning permission.
