1.Policy HOU15 of the Borough Wide Local Plan requires all replacement dwellings, to relate satisfactorily to its surroundings in terms of its effect upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties and the character of the environment created. This proposal is for a replacement dwelling which due to the proposed increased height and its altered siting is considered unsympathetic to the surrounding character of the area. The proposal is considered to have a significantly adverse effect upon the neighbouring properties by creating a development that both overshadows and imposes upon the adjacent dwellings. Consequently, the Borough Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers that the proposal is contrary to policy HOU15 of the adopted Borough-Wide Local Plan due to its negative effects the amenities of the neighbouring properties and the character of the environment.
2.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
