REFUSED

Minutes:

Description of application – Erection of detached two storey 2 bedroom house at land at side of 2 Oak Cottages.  Alteration to porch at 2 Oak Cottages.

 

Members having considered the report and objections, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reasons:-

1  The proposal would constitute a cramped overdevelopment of the site, which would be detrimental to the character and visual amenities of the locality and a lack of private amenity space would fail to provide a satisfactory quality of accommodation for future occupiers, contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan and Policy 3.5 of the London Plan (2015).

2  The proposed development would lack adequate quantity of on-site car parking provision to accord with the Council's standards and would therefore generate an unacceptable increase in the demand for on-street car parking in the vicinity of the site, prejudicial to the free flow of traffic and conditions of general safety in the highway, contrary to Policies T3 and T18 of the Unitary Development Plan.
