REFUSED

Description of application – 4 x 2 bedroom two storey terrace dwellings with outbuildings to rear; 2 storey building containing 2 x 2 bedroom flats; associated landscaping and 8 on site car parking spaces.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received.  Oral representations from Ward Member, Councillor Kate Lymer, in objection to the application were received at the meeting.  It was reported that a petition had been received. 

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

1.  The proposal constitutes a cramped overdevelopment of the site by reason of the type and number of units proposed, and if permitted would establish an undesirable pattern for similar piecemeal infilling in the area, out of character with the pattern of surrounding development and resulting in an over-intensive use of the site and a retrograde lowering of the spatial standards to which the area is at present developed, harmful to the visual amenities and character of the area and therefore contrary to Policies H7 and BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan.
