REFUSED

Description of application – Erection of 3 dwelling houses in accordance with parameters approved under planning consent ref: 17/00398/DET, with the exception of alterations to the proposed height and roofscape to the three garages, and alteration of the position of the garage associated with plot 1.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received at the meeting.  Supplementary information had been received from the objector and circulated to Members.

Ward Member, Councillor Simon Jeal, referred to the history of the site and to Condition 4 on appeal reference APP/G5180/W/16/3149502.  Councillor Jeal and the Chairman both objected to the application and were of the opinion that the previous grounds of refusal had been implemented to protect the character of the area and residential amenity.

The Chief Planner’s representative advised Members to consider the application as submitted as if it were a new application and to consider if the proposed amendments were acceptable.

Councillor Joel had visited the site on a previous occasion and supported the application.  Councillor Katy Boughey sympathised with local residents but in planning terms she supported the application.

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

1.  The proposal by reason of its increased height, size and siting is considered harmful to the character and setting of the wider area and detrimental to neighbouring amenity contrary to Policies BE1 and H8 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy 37 of the Draft Local Plan and Policies 3.4 and 3.5 of the London Plan.
