Mrs Wright, a local resident, spoke as an objector to the application.  Mr Kearney, the applicant’s agent, responded.

Planning Permission REFUSED for the following reason:

The proposed development by reason by reason of its excessive bulk, design, height, massing and forward projection in relation to the existing dwellings, would result in an incongruous and discordant feature at this location within the streetscene to the detriment of the character and appearance of area. This would be contrary to the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework, policy KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (DPD1) policy DM1 of the Development Management DPD2 and advice contained within the adopted Design and Townscape Guide (SPD1).
