Minutes: Proposal: Demolish existing garage to rear and erect replacement garage Applicant: Mr Tracy Meade Agent: Mr Bruce Warren
Mr Lee, a local resident, spoke as an objector to the application. Mr Meade, the applicant, responded.
Resolved: That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:
1. The proposed garage would, by reason of its height and position coupled with its projection into a shared pedestrian access and the consequent relationship to the existing garage at 28 Canonsleigh Crescent, result in an unduly dominant and oppressive built form prejudicial to the character and appearance of the street scene and harmful to the amenity of users of the pedestrian access whose reasonable sense of a safe and accessible environment would be materially impaired. The proposal therefore conflicts with the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, Core Strategy (2007) Policies KP2 and CP4 and Development Management Document Policies DM1 and DM3. |
