1. (a) the external refrigeration unit at ground floor level (b) Retention planning permission to retain indefinitely the roof as is constructed, which differs from that as granted planning permission under Ref no. 21/1075. 2. Planning permission for providing double doors (replacing existing single doors) giving access from the upper floor residential unit to the external single storey flat roof to the rear and the erection of a 2M high screen “wall” in vertical hit and miss composite screens/panels, fixed in metal columns plated and bolted to the top of the existing ground floor wall and extending around the open periphery of the flat roof to the North-West side and to a section to the North-East side. The remaining periphery of the flat roof will have similar boundary but 1250mm high
Core Refusal Reason
The development is visually incongruous and significantly detracts from the character of the area due to poor aesthetic quality and inappropriate metal cladding that overhangs the building line.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The metal cladding is visually incongruous and detracts from the visual character of the receiving environment, failing to meet appropriate aesthetic standards for a principal access route.
- The structure as constructed appears to overhang the front building line and potentially encroaches on neighboring third-party properties, representing an inappropriate form of development.
- The applicant failed to provide sufficient technical details regarding the noise impact of the refrigeration unit and the planning status of the removed forecourt canopy and pumps.
