Core Reason for the Refused Part
The retention of the glass structure and corridor was refused due to its negative visual impact on the dwelling and streetscape, and the resulting deficiency in usable private open space.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The glass structure and connecting corridor are visually obtrusive and incongruous, negatively impacting the dwelling's appearance and the surrounding streetscape.
- The development results in an inadequate provision of usable private open space, leading to a substandard level of residential amenity for the dwelling.
- The proposal is contrary to Section 12.3.7.1 of the County Development Plan and would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments in the area.
