## The Decision

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT PERMISSION FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT in the manner described on the application and shown on the accompanying plans and drawings is REFUSED for the following reasons:

1.
The existing property is a prominent end terrace dwelling that has previously been substantially
and unsympathetically enlarged. The scale and massing of the extensions and garage building
proposed in this instance unacceptably dominate the original building and its curtilage being
detrimental to the buildings character and appearance as well as the character of the
Conservation Area. This is contrary to Policies LC4, LC5(a), LC5(a)ii-iii, LH4(i-ii) of the Peak
District National Park Local Plan, the National Park Authority's adopted Design Guide (2007) and
PPS5 Policy HE7.5.
2.
The overall form of the extensions proposed and their relationship with the original pitched roof
terrace row fail to reflect or complement the style and traditions of local buildings and would as a
result appear out of keeping in the setting of the Conservation Area.
The development is
therefore considered contrary to Local Plan Policies LC4, LC5(a)i-iii, LH4(i-ii) Peak District
National Park Local Plan and the National Park Authority's adopted design guidance relating to
'Harmony in New Design' (Para 3.11-3.22).
Date

## Statement Of Applicant'S Rights Arising From The Refusal Of Planning Permission Or From The Grant Of Permission Subject To Conditions Please Note, Only The Applicant Possesses The Right Of Appeal. You Must Use A Planning Appeal Form/Householder Appeal Form Appeals To The Secretary Of State

-
If you are aggrieved by the decision of your local planning authority to refuse permission for the
proposed development or to grant it subject to conditions, then you can appeal to the Secretary of
State for Communities and Local Government under Section 78 of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990.
-
If you want to appeal, then you must do so within 6 months of the date of this notice, using a form
which you can get from the Planning Inspectorate at Customer Support Unit, Temple Quay House,
2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN, telephone No. 0117 372 8000 or www.planninginspectorate.gov.uk .
-
The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not
normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the
delay in giving notice of appeal.
-
The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to him that the local planning
authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed development or could not
have granted it without the conditions they imposed, having regard to the statutory requirements, to
the provisions of any development order and to any directions given under a development order.
-
In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the local
planning authority based its decision on a direction given by him.

## Householder Appeals

-
The Planning Inspectorate launched a Fast Track Householder Appeal Pilot (FTHA) in January
2008. The aim of the process is to dramatically shorten the length of time it will to make a decision
on a submitted appeal. The streamlined process aims to decide householder appeals in eight
weeks. This is approximately six weeks quicker than previously.
-
At the heart of the process is the ability to use the original application file held by the local planning
authority in an electronic format for administering the appeal. The local planning authority will rely
purely on their decision notice to defend the appeal together with any internal reports. They will not
provide a formal appeal statement and will not attend the site visit. The Secretary of State can allow
a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power
unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal.
-
The appellant will have 12 weeks from the date of the decision in which to submit an appeal and will
need to send in an appeal statement with their appeal forms.
-
Planning Inspectors will work entirely electronically, based on the electronic file provided by the local
planning authority. The Inspector will visit the site alone, with the appellant present in some cases
only to provide access to the site.
-
Further information on the Fast Track Appeals scheme can be found at: www.planningportal.gov.uk

## Online Appeals

-
The planning inspectorate have introduced an online appeals service which you can use to make
your appeal online. You can find the service through the Appeals area of the Planning Portal - see
www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs . The inspectorate will publish details of your appeal on the internet
(on the appeals area of the Planning Portal).
This may include a copy of the original planning
application form and relevant supporting documents supplied to the local authority by you or your
agent, together with the completed appeal form and information you submit to the Planning
Inspectorate. Please ensure you only provide information, including personal information belonging
to you that you are happy will be made available to others in this way.
If you supply personal
information belonging to a third party please ensure you have their permission to do so.
More
detailed information about data protection and privacy matters is available on the Planning Portal.

## Purchase Notices

-
If either the local planning authority or the Secretary of State for Communities and Local
Government refuses permission to develop land or grants it subject to conditions, the owner may
claim that he can neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor render
the land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development which has been or would be permitted.
-
In these circumstances, the owner may serve a purchase notice on the Council (District Council,
London Borough Council or Common Council of the City of London) or, where the land is situated in
a National Park, the National Park Authority for that Park in whose area the land is situated. This
notice will require the Council or Authority to purchase his interest in the land in accordance with the
provisions of Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
