REFUSED

Description of application – Single storey rear extension to provide additional ground floor retail space.

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

1.  The proposed extension by reason of its rearward projection and size will be an unacceptable form of development, resulting in an overdevelopment of the site, harmful to the character of the area and the amenities of adjoining residential properties by reason of additional disturbance and visual impact, therefore contrary to Policy BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan.

2.  The proposed retention of 2 car parking spaces would be inappropriate in this highly accessible town centre location, thereby contrary to Policy T3 of the Unitary Development Plan.
