REFUSED

Description of application – Single storey rear extension and conversion to form 3 two bedroom flats with forecourt parking and cycle and refuse stores.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received.  Oral representations from Ward Member, Councillor Tom Papworth,  in objection to the application were received at the meeting.

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

1.  The proposed development would, by reason of the number of units proposed, constitute an overdevelopment of the site, out of character with the surrounding area, and contrary to Policy H11 of the Unitary Development Plan.

2.  The proposed development would be lacking in adequate on-site car parking provision and would result in excessive demand for on-street parking in the area, to the detriment of road safety, and contrary to Policy T18 of the Unitary Development Plan.
