The Haven c1905

These were the grounds for refusal...
The proposal would result in an unsatisfactory sub-division of the plot resulting in a cramped overdevelopment of the site by reason of the amount of buildings and hard surfaces, out of character with the surrounding area and thereby contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.

The proposal would be detrimental to the amenities that the occupiers of adjoining properties might expect to be able to continue to enjoy by reason of visual impact, loss of prospect and privacy, contrary to Policy BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.

The proposed extension, by reason of its size, would be detrimental to the appearance of this building which is included in the Council's list of buildings of local historic or architectural interest and contrary to Policy BE10 of the Unitary Development Plan.

The proposed means of the access to the site would be inadequate to meet the needs of the development, in respect of provision of adequate visibility and as such the proposal would be prejudicial to the free flow of traffic and conditions of general road safety, thereby contrary to Policy T18 of the Unitary Development Plan.
