REFUSED

Description of application – Demolition of existing commercial outbuildings and erection of two storey, one bedroom detached dwelling, use of commercial Listed Building as ancillary to new dwelling and associated landscaping.

Oral representations in objection to the application were received at the meeting.

Comments from Ward Member, Councillor Robert Evans, in objection to the application were reported and circulated to Members.

Ward Member, Councillor Charles Joel, referred to the drawings and was concerned with the proposed siting in relation to the adjoining property and in his view the narrow access to Flat 3 would be unsuitable for further parking where traffic was heavy with difficult site lines and he objected to the application and he also reported that Farnborough Village Society objected to the application.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED AGAINST THE CHIEF PLANNER’S RECOMMENDATION on the grounds that:-

1.  The proposal would result in a cramped form of backland development and out of keeping with the character and appearance of the area contrary to Policy BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan (2006).

2.  The proposal would have insufficient parking contrary to Policy T3 of the Unitary Development Plan (2006).
