Applicant:  Mr G. Cain

Agent:  A9 Architects Ltd

Mr Powell, a local resident, spoke as an objector to the application.  Mr Cain, the Applicant, responded.

Planning permission REFUSED for the following reason:

01 The proposed development, by virtue of the scale, massing and design of the proposed dwelling, would create an incongruous feature and harmfully conflict with the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would have an overbearing impact on the neighbouring dwellings. The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, DPD1 (Core Strategy) policies KP2 and CP4, DPD2 (Development Management) policies DM1, DM3 and DM6 and SPD1 (Design and Townscape Guidance)
