REFUSED

Description of application - Demolition of existing dwelling house and garage and erection of a two storey seven bedroom house with accommodation in roofspace, integral garage and resiting of outside swimming pool.

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.  Objections from the Tree Officer were reported.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED as recommended, for the reason set out in the report of the Chief Planner with an additional reason:-

2.  The proposal is likely to prejudice the retention and well-being of existing boundary trees which make an important contribution to the character of the Keston Park Conservation Area and would thereby be contrary to Policies BE1, NE7, BE11 and BE16 of the Unitary Development Plan and the Supplementary Planning Guidance for the Conservation Area.
