REFUSED

Description of application – Demolition of existing garage and sub-division of existing plot to create one new two-bedroom detached dwelling with associated parking and garden. New dividing fence.

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

On page 190 of the Chief Planner’s report, the last paragraph under the heading, ‘Design and Scale’ was amended to read, “The design of the new dwelling, whilst not indicative in the area would still take architectural cues from the surrounding properties in terms of the use of the brick, tile hanging and pitched roof. However, given the location of the new dwelling and the relationship between the proposed dwelling and the neighbouring properties it is considered that the development would be out of character with the area given its prominent sighting, height, scale and bulk on a restricted plot.”

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.
