REFUSED

Description of application – Part one/two storey rear and single storey side extensions.

Councillor Tony Owen, a Petts Wood and Knoll ward councillor, stated that the proposals would have severe effects on the neighbouring properties on both sides, particularly to number 5. The proposals were out of keeping and too large for a small semi-detached house. The other ward councillors, Simon Fawthrop and Keith Onslow, also considered that this was overdevelopment.  

Councillor Christine Harris reported that she had visited the property and viewed it from the rear. The adjoining properties both had large box extensions and therefore she considered that the application should be allowed.  

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

The proposed development, by reason of its design and excessive dimensions, would be an overbearing, overdevelopment of the site that appears out of keeping with the character of the area and causes harm to the amenities of nos. 1 and 5 Nightingale Road with particular regards to light and outlook. This is contrary to policies 6 and 37 of the Bromley Local Plan.
