Description of application - Demolition of existing dwelling and erection of a replacement two storey five bedroom dwelling and formation of a new access drive and erection of detached two storey five bedroom dwelling on land to rear including boundary enclosures and landscaping.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received.  Oral representations from Ward Member Councillor Catherine Rideout in objection to the application were received at the meeting.  Councillor Rideout's comments are attached as Appendix 1 to these Minutes.

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

1  The proposed dwellings by reason of their size, height, design and siting and the consequent limited garden space and loss of trees would constitute an overdevelopment of the site which would be out-of-character with the surrounding area and harmful to spatial standards, therefore contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan, Bromley Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 2, the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.

2  The proposed rear dwelling as a consequence of its size, height, siting and design would result in a harmful impact on the adjacent property at ‘Hadleigh’ by way of an overbearing visual impact and loss of privacy therefore contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.
