01  The proposed development, by virtue of its scale, massing and design would harmfully conflict with the character and appearance of the streetscene and the surrounding area.  The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, DPD1 (Core Strategy) policies KP2 and CP4, DPD2 (Development Management) policies DM1 and DM3 and SPD1 (Design and Townscape Guidance)

 

02  The proposed development, by virtue of its scale and massing and proximity to windows serving habitable rooms of neighbouring dwellings and the amenity areas of those dwellings, would have a harmfully overbearing impact on the light and outlook of the neighbouring dwellings.  The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, DPD1 (Core Strategy) policy KP2, DPD2 (Development Management) policy DM1 and SPD1 (Design and Townscape Guidance)

 

03  The proposed development would be served by inadequate parking and would therefore be detrimental to highway safety and efficiency, within an area of parking stress.  The proposal would therefore be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and policies DM3 and DM15 of the Council’s Development Management DPD.

 

04  It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority that the proposed residential unit would accord with the standards of Part M of the Building Regulations, as required by the NPPF and policies DM1 and DM8 of DPD2 (Development Management) to the detriment of living conditions having regard to the objective of achieving lifetime homes.

 

The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by identifying matters of concern with the proposal and determining the application within a timely manner, clearly setting out the reason(s) for refusal, allowing the Applicant the opportunity to consider the harm caused and whether or not it can be remedied by a revision to the proposal.  The detailed analysis is set out in a report prepared by officers. In the circumstances the proposal is not considered to be sustainable development. The Local Planning Authority is willing to discuss the best course of action and is also willing to provide pre-application advice in respect of any future application for a revised development, should the applicant wish to exercise this option in accordance with the Council's pre-application advice service.

 

Informative

 

Please note that this application would be liable for a payment under the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) if planning permission had been granted. Therefore if an appeal is lodged and subsequently allowed, the CIL liability will be applied. Any revised application might also be CIL liable.
