REFUSED

Description of application – Conversion of existing single dwelling into four flats (1 x 1 bed and 3 x 2 beds), single storey rear extension, rear dormer and three velux windows in the front roofslope, provision of onsite car parking , cycle parking and associated paving and landscaping.

An email had been received from the agent in support of the application and circulated to Members.  It was reported that revised documents had been received on 17 April 2018. 

The Chairman referred to the long history of the site and the three previous applications that had been refused and the current application at appeal.  The reason for refusal had been the principle of the loss of a family home into four flats.

Councillor Brooks’ ward was adjacent to Clock House Ward and he had communicated with the Ward Members and they all objected to the application due to their local knowledge that family homes were required and should be retained.

Members having considered the report and objections, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED as recommended, for the reason set out in the report of the Chief Planner.
