CONTEST APPEAL.

Description of application – Demolition of existing bungalow and the construction of a two storey building in order to provide 4 two bedroom flats, together with four off road parking spaces, cycle and refuse storage (amendment to application ref: 15/05399).

Oral representations from Ward Member Councillor Sarah Phillips in objection to the application were received at the meeting.

The Planning Officer explained the grounds for deferral of the previous application and outlined the current position.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED TO CONTEST THE APPEAL for the following reason:-

The proposal, by reason of its size, design and scale of the development at the rear would result in an overdevelopment of the site, harmful to the character and visual amenities of the locality and would be lacking adequate private amenity space which 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).
