REFUSED

Description of application – Two storey side extension and garage conversion.

Members were concerned that the proposed 0.9m side space did not meet the usual 1m requirement and were advised that the applicant did not wish to amend the application in this regard.

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

1.  The proposal does not comply with the Council’s requirement for a minimum 1 metre side space to be maintained to the flank boundary in respect of two-storey development in the absence of which the extension would constitute a cramped form of development, out of character with the street scene, conducive to a retrograde lowering of the spatial standards to which the area is at present developed and contrary to Policy H9 of the Unitary Development Plan and Draft Policy 8 of the Emerging Local Plan.
