REFUSED

Description of application - Demolition of existing dwelling and erection of 2 four bedroom detached dwellings with integral garages, 4 car parking spaces and vehicular access via Kenwood Drive.

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

Planning Officer comments were reported and Members were informed that further objections to the application had been received.

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

1  The proposal would be a cramped overdevelopment of the site on land which is not previously developed resulting in a loss of garden land, out of character with the locality thereby detrimental to its visual amenities, character and spatial standards to which the area is currently developed, contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy 3.5 of the London Plan and PPS 3 “Housing”.

2  The footprint and rearward projection of the proposed development would give rise to an unacceptable loss of light and outlook to the occupiers of adjacent properties thus contrary to Policy BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan.
