REFUSED

Description of application – Demolition of the existing dwellinghouse and the erection of a part 1.5 storey and part 2 storey building containing 5 two bedroom flats with associated car parking, hard and soft landscaping, refuse and cycle storage.

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

Further drawings in objection to the application had been received and circulated to Members.

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

1  The proposal is considered to be an overdevelopment of the site which would, by reason of its prominent siting, scale, massing and bulk in this prominent corner location, be harmful to the open spatial characteristics of the area and be detrimental to the visual amenities of the streetscene.  Furthermore, the proposal offers insufficient parking for this location, thereby contrary to policies BE1, H7, H9 and T3 of the Unitary Development Plan, draft Policies 3, 4, 8, 30 and 37 of the Emerging Local Plan and Policies 7.4 and 7.6 of the London Plan.
