REFUSED

Description of application – Erection of a detached two storey five bedroom dwellinghouse, vehicular access, refuse store, means of enclosure and associated landscaping on land at the rear of 15-21 Commonside.

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

Written comments from Ward Member Councillor Robert McIlveen in objection to the application were received and circulated to Members.

It was reported that further objections, similar to those already contained in the report, had been received.

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

1  The proposed development would result in a cramped overdevelopment of this backland site which would be detrimental to the character and spatial standards of the area and wider Conservation Area by reason of its scale, design and siting, contrary to Policies 3, 4, 37 and 41 of the Bromley Local Plan.

2.  The proposal would be detrimental to the amenities that the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties might reasonably expect to be able to enjoy by reason of its dominance and visual impact and would result in an unacceptable loss of privacy, contrary to Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan.
