REFUSED

Description of application – Variation of condition 4 of outline permission ref. 15/04458 allowed at appeal for the introduction of access road and erection of three detached dwellings, each with a double garage, parking and associated landscaping to allow the removal of drawing 13121/C402C - Proposed sketch elevations from the list of drawings with which the development must accord.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received at the meeting.  A further objection from the neighbouring residents had been received and circulated to Members.

Members’ preference was to have considered this application in parallel with a detailed design and appearance application and following discussion, and on Councillor Smith’s request, the Legal Representative gave advice and referred Members to paragraph 9 on page 130 and paragraph 6 on page 131 of the Chief Planner’s report.

Councillor Michael objected to the application and was of the opinion that the Planning Inspector had attached the condition to the permission to protect and preserve residential amenity and Councillors Evans and William Huntington-Thresher also objected and agreed that the Inspector had specifically imposed the condition.

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

1.  The inclusion of Condition 4 on appeal ref APP/G5180/W/16/3149502 was considered reasonable and necessary in order to protect the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the amenity of neighbouring residents. Accordingly, the variation of the condition would be contrary to Policy BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan.
