REFUSED

Description of application – Erection of an attached two storey three bedroom house with associated parking and new for vehicular access for No. 7.

It was reported that a further letter in objection to the application had been received and circulated to Members.

Councillor Allatt strongly opposed the character and symmetry of the development. Councillor Turner agreed adding that the area consisted of large detached and semi-detached properties. The terracing effect of the proposals would be contrary to the design of the estate. This would result in an over-development of the site and be out-of-character with the surrounding area.

Members having considered the report and objections, RESOLVED that the application be REFUSED for the following reason:-

1  The proposed new dwelling would fail to respect the character, rhythm and symmetry of the streetscene and would result in a cramped overdevelopment of the site which would be detrimental to the character and appearance of New Street Hill, Ridgeway Drive and the wider Links Estate within which it lies; thereby contrary to Policies 4 and 37 of the Bromley Local Plan.
