REFUSED

Description of application - Demolition of existing buildings and erection of a two/three storey building comprising 8 three bedroom flats and 16 basement car parking spaces.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received at the meeting.  Oral representations from Ward Member, Councillor Catherine Rideout, in objection to the application at the meeting.  It was reported that further objections to the application had been received from the Chislehurst Society together with comments from Highways Engineers with regard to the transport statement.

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

1.  The proposal would lack suitable provision of amenity space for future occupiers and would constitute an overdevelopment of the site, resulting in a detrimental impact upon the spatial standards of the area and an adverse impact upon the street scene, contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.

2.  The proposed development would have insufficient parking provision and lack vehicle turning space, contrary to Policies BE1 and T3 of the Unitary Development Plan.
