To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Note: Councillor C Thorley and Councillor M Martin (Ward Councillors) and Mr R Clews (objector) attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this matter.
The Committee considered a report regarding the above planning application, a written update and an oral report of the site inspection.
RESOLVED – That, contrary to the planning officer’s recommendation for approval, the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development by virtue of its design would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area, and on the street scene, contrary to Local Plan Policy BE2 and SPD on Backland Development.
2. The development by virtue of its proximity to neighbouring property would be over dominant and cause unnecessary overshadowing to those properties and their occupiers, contrary to Local Plan Policy BE1 and the SPD.
