Reason(s) 1) The scale and siting of the proposed development would have an unduly prominent impact on the corner plot and would consequently have an unacceptably harmful impact on the street scene. It would not enhance or reinforce the local character and would therefore not be in accordance with Policy QE7 of the Core Strategy or the House Extensions SPD. |
