Decision & conditions
__769732Decision_Refusal_of_Planning_Permission_953.pdfPlanning conditions
- The retrospective development to convert the existing dwelling-house into three self-contained flats by reason of the limited internal floor areas and poor layout and lack of private outside amenity space for all three flats would provide a significantly harmful living environment for current and future occupiers contrary to Policy SDC1 of the Rugby Borough Local Plan 2011-2031 (June 2019), Policy H7 of the Rugby Borough Local Plan 2025-2042 (Submission Version April 2026), The adopted Climate Change and Sustainable Design and Construction Supplementary Planning Document (2023) and Paragraphs 135(f) and 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024)
