Members having considered the report and objections, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reasons:- 1 The proposed mansard roof would be at odds with the simple modernist style of the interwar building at nos. 211-213 and as such would detract from the appearance of the adjacent locally listed building at Nos. 215-217 thereby contrary to Policies BE1, BE10 and BE11 of the Unitary Development Plan. 2. The proposed rear extension would detract from the form of the locally listed building at Nos. 215-217 and would fail to be subservient particularly when viewed from Walter Yard which has been identified as having heritage value thereby contrary to Policies BE1, BE10 and BE11 of the Unitary Development Plan. 3. The proposal would constitute an overdevelopment of the site and would, given its proximity to the adjacent public house and limited amenity space, result in an unsatisfactory living environment for the occupants of the proposed flats thereby contrary to Policy H7 of the Unitary Development Plan. |
