REFUSED

Description of application – Demolition of 1 Bullers Wood Drive and Wootton, Bullers Wood Drive and erection of 2 pairs of semi-detached houses providing 4 x 4/5 bedroom properties with integrated garages and associated car parking.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received.  Oral representations from visiting Ward Member Councillor Kate Lymer on behalf of Ward Member Councillor Colin Smith in objection to the application were received at the meeting.  Councillor Lymer’s representations are attached as Annex A to these Minutes.

It was reported that further objections to the application had been received and circulated to Members.

Members were advised that should they be minded to grant permission, an amendment to condition 13 would be required.

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

1  The proposed dwellings would, by reason of their scale, massing and bulk, be overbearing and out of character with the streetscene, thereby contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan, draft Policies 3, 4 and 37 of the Emerging Local Plan and Policies 7.4 and 7.6 of the London Plan.
