REFUSED

Description of application –  Demolition of existing dwelling and detached garage and erection of a detached two storey four bedroom dwelling with accommodation in roof space and associated detached garage.

Oral representations in objection to the application were received at the meeting.  It was reported that further objections to the application had been received.

Councillor Samaris Huntington-Thresher referred  to the topographical survey  that had been undertaken and in her opinion the proposed development was over-dominant, over-intensive and residential amenity space would be lost if the application were to be approved.

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

1.  The proposal, by reason of its size, height and siting constitutes an incongruous and over-dominant form of development, harmful to the visual amenities of the area, and contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.

2.  The proposal would be over-dominant and would be detrimental to the amenities that the occupiers of adjoining properties might reasonably expect to be able continue to enjoy by reason of visual impact, overlooking and loss of privacy, thereby contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.
