Proposal: Demolish existing buildings, erect part 2.5 storey/part 3.5 storey building comprising of 18 self-contained flats, layout parking including underground parking, hard and soft landscaping and alter existing vehicular access on to Crosby Road (Amended Proposal)

Applicant: BESB Contracts Ltd

Agent: DAP Architecture 

 

Resolved:-

 

That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

01.  The proposal would, by reason of its size, scale, bulk, mass, siting and  detailed design, constitute a cramped, contrived and incongruous development that would be materially harmful to the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area. This is unacceptable and contrary to National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1 and DM3 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the Design and Townscape Guide (2009). 

 

02.  The siting, size and design of the proposed development is such that it would result in undue dominance, an overbearing relationship and a significant sense of enclosure to No.125 Crowstone Road, to the material detriment of the amenities of the occupiers of this property. The development is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1 and DM3 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

 

03.  The application does not include a formal undertaking to secure a contribution to affordable housing provision to meet the demand for such housing in the area and it has not been shown that such a contribution is not viable. The submission also lacks a formal undertaking to secure a contribution to the delivery of education facilities to meet the need for such infrastructure generated by the development. In the absence of these undertakings the application is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Policies KP2, KP3, CP6 and CP8 of the Core Strategy (2007) and policy DM7 of the Development Management Document (2015).

 

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.

 

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 would also be CIL liable.
