REFUSED

Description of application – Demolition of existing garages/storage building and the construction of a detached two bedroom dwelling, with ancillary parking and bin storage facilities.

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting. This application had not been called in by a Ward Member as stated in the report but had been considered as a ‘controversial matter’.  It was reported that Councillor Mellor objected to the application.

Councillor Harris had visited the site with Ward Member, Stephen Wells, and they were of the opinion that the application be approved.

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

1. The proposed development, by reason of its design, layout and lack of side space would result in a lowering of the high spatial standards that exist in this location, resulting in a cramped, piecemeal form of development being created that appears at odds with the character of the locality and is detrimental to the amenities of nearby neighbours as well as future residents that may occupy the proposed dwelling by way of visual impact, loss of outlook and lack of privacy, thereby contrary to Policies 4, 8 and 37 of the Bromley Local Plan.
