(16/04982/FULL1) - Land at Grangewood Lane Beckenham

Decision:

REFUSED

 

Minutes:

Description of application – Construction of a detached single storey 2 bedroom dwellinghouse with associated car parking, landscaping and refuse storage.

 

Oral representations in objection to the application were received at the meeting.

Ward Member Councillor Russell Mellor referred to paragraph 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework which required good design that protected residents from overshadowing, overbearing and high density inappropriate developments. Also there was no natural turning circle for vehicles.  Whilst he appreciated the pressure to build more housing in his opinion this would be an overdevelopment.

Councillor Kathy Bance was concerned at the potential loss of vegetation and the impact on the adjoining properties.

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

1.  The proposed development by reason of its size, design, location and the severely restricted nature of the site would constitute an overdevelopment of the site and would cause significant detriment to the outlook and amenity of the adjoining neighbours, contrary to Policies BE1, H8, and H9 of the Unitary Development Plan and Paragraph 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
