DECISION

PLANNING PERMSISSION REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS

1. The development is obtrusive, out of character in the street scene and detrimental to the visual amenity of the area. It is, therefore, contrary to Local Plan Core Strategy Policy 10, which states that development should make a positive contribution to the public realm and sense of place, and should have regard to the local context and reinforce local characteristics.

2. The development is contrary to policy GP2 (Amenity and Design) of the Rushcliffe Borough Non Statutory Replacement Local Plan which requires that, inter alia, any developments are sympathetic to the character and appearance of neighbouring buildings and the surrounding area in terms of scale, design, materials, and do not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of neighbours.
