REFUSED

Description of application – Minor material amendment under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to allow a variation of the planning permission 16/00722/FULL1 (Approved at Appeal) for demolition of existing building and construction of replacement two storey building with additional accommodation within roof space comprising 8 residential flats (4x2 bedroom and 4x1 bedroom), bin store, cycle store, 10 car parking spaces, alterations to existing vehicular/pedestrian access onto Beckenham Lane, front boundary and associated landscaping at Nos 7-9 Beckenham Lane to vary condition 2 (approved plans) to add second floor balconies to Flats 7 and 8 comprising increased rear dormer width and patio style access doors.

It was reported that further objections, similar to those already contained in the report, had been received.

Comments from Bromley Town Ward Members in objection to the application were reported at the meeting.

Members having considered the report and objections, RESOLVED that the MINOR MATERIAL AMENDMENT BE REFUSED for the following reason:-

1  The proposal by reason of the siting and elevated position of the balconies would be detrimental to the residential amenities that occupiers of Pixfield Court might reasonably expect to continue to enjoy, giving rise to an unacceptable loss of privacy as well as noise and disturbance occasioned by their use, thereby contrary to Policy BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy 37 of the draft Local Plan and Policy 7.6 of the London Plan.
