REFUSED

Description of application – Demolition of existing dwelling and erection of a three storey terrace comprising 2 three bedroom and 1 four bedroom houses with integral garages, access onto Madeira Avenue and associated landscaping OUTLINE APPLICATION.

Oral representations in support of the application were received.  Oral representations from Ward Member, Councillor Michael Rutherford in objection to the application were received at the meeting.

Councillor Rutherford objected to the substantial increase in footprint and poor design which was out of keeping in the local area.

Councillor Joel had visited the site and he and the Chairman considered the application to be an overdevelopment of the site.

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

1.  The proposal would represent a cramped overdevelopment of the site which would be out of character with the prevailing pattern of development and relate poorly to its immediate surroundings, therefore harmful to the visual amenities of the streetscene and the character of the area. Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to Policies H7 and BE1 of the Bromley Unitary Development Plan (2006), Policy 3.5 and 7.4 of the London Plan and Section 7 of the National Planning policy Framework (NPPF).
