Proposed by Councillor Russell Tillson

Seconded by Councillor Damon Robinson and

 

RESOLVED:

That planning permission be refused for the following reason(s):

 

1.    The proposed extension is of a poor design featuring a large flat-roof and odd form which would fail to relate to the existing character of the dwelling. In addition, the proposal would project forward of the principle elevation of the dwelling, resulting in a prominent development that is unsympathetic and incongruous to the character and appearance of the street scene. The proposal is therefore considered to be unsustainable development that constitutes poor design and is therefore contrary to saved policies SD1, BE1 and BE8 of the Shepway District Local Plan Review and policy DSD of the Shepway Core Strategy.
