REFUSED

Description of application – Erection of two storey building comprising of 6 two bedroom flats with undercroft parking (OUTLINE APPLICATION).

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received.  Oral representations from Ward Member, Councillor Kate Lymer in objection to the application were received at the meeting.  It was reported that a Ward Member objected to the application.  Comments from Environmental Health were reported.

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

1.  The proposed development, by reason of its size and bulk and amount of building and hard surfaces would constitute an overdevelopment of the site and would result in an overbearing and detrimental feature within the streetscene, contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.

2.  The proposed additional vehicular movements to enter and exit the site will increase the potential for highway safety concerns, therefore contrary to Policy T18 of the Unitary Development Plan.
