Section 01
Development description
a front extension to create more bedroom space and roof coverage at the entrance to already permitted planning permission (3601/APP/2022/324).
Section 02
Decision
The appeal is dismissed.
Section 03
Procedural Matter
The description of development refers to a recent planning permission1 and the proposal the subject of this appeal would effectively add an extension to the proposal already permitted.
Section 04
Main Issue
The main issue in this case is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.
Section 05
Reasons
The appeal property is a white rendered semi-detached bungalow situated close to a prominent corner where [address] meets [address].
The appeal property is located in a residential area characterised by the presence of detached and semi-detached bungalows and two storey dwellings, set back from the street behind gardens and/or driveways and with longer gardens to the rear.
The presence of gardens, a grass verge and street trees provides for a sense of spaciousness and greenery and also, during my site visit, I observed that similarities between pairs of dwellings and common design features, including 1 Reference: 3601/APP/2022/324. the use of white render and black Tudor-style boards and the common presence of similar tiled roofs, provides for an attractive sense of uniformity.
Also during my site visit, I observed that whilst many dwellings have been altered and/or extended, such changes tend to appear in keeping with the original character of host properties and the surrounding area.
The proposed development would create an enlarged extension towards the front of the property with a roof canopy porch. When combined with the approved extension, I find that this would result in the creation of an awkward addition that would jar with and appear disproportionate to the appearance of the approved extension. It would result in an overall extension that would appear incongruous against and fail to appear subordinate to, the host dwelling.
The harm arising as a result of the above would be exacerbated as a result of the prominent location of the appeal property, whereby an awkward and disproportionate addition to the front of the dwelling would draw attention to itself as a widely visible incongruous feature. 10.Consequently, I find that the proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, to Local Plan2 Policy BE1 and to Development Management3 Policies DMHB11, DMHB12 and DMHD1, which together amongst other things, seek to protect local character.
