REFUSED

Description of application – Proposed two bedroom house on land adjacent to 41 Mounthurst Road, Hayes, Bromley, Kent, BR2 7PG.

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.

The Chairman referred to previously refused application 18/02599.  He objected to the scale and building line of the proposed development and his view was that the current application did not go far enough to overcome the previous grounds of refusal.  Councillor Simon Fawthrop also objected to the application.

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

1.  The proposed development, as a consequence of its design, layout and restrictive size of the site, would result in a cramped form of development which would be out of keeping with the prevailing pattern of residential development and spatial characteristics of the locality, being discordant within the streetscene and unacceptably harmful to the character and appearance of the area. As such it would conflict with Policies H7, H9 and BE1 of the London Borough of Bromley Unitary Development Plan July 2006, Policies 3.5 and 7.4 of the London Plan March 2016; Policies 4, 8 & 37 of the Local Plan (Submission Version 2017) &Supplementary Planning Guidance No 1 General Design Principles, and Supplementary Planning Guidance No 2 Residential Design.
