Across South Gloucestershire: what refusals were about
Of the 48 refusals whose decision notices we read, the share that gave a reason about each.
- Design and character of the area 48% That the work suits the house and the street: its size, its shape, its roof and its materials.
- Not permitted development 21% That the work fits the permitted development route applied under: inside its limits and conditions and, where the council's prior approval is needed, acceptable on the matters it may judge, such as the neighbours. Work beyond the limits needs a planning application.
- Neighbours' amenity 19% That the neighbours keep reasonable light, outlook and privacy: no wall that looms over them, and no window that overlooks their home or garden more than the council judges acceptable.
South Gloucestershire as a whole granted a comparable share across 789 decisions. See the whole council.
