All Members of the Committee, with
the exception of Councillor Garland, stated that they had been
lobbied.
Councillor Chittenden had disclosed that he had pre-determined
the application, spoke but did not vote on the application.
The Committee considered the report
and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning.
Mrs Grainger, an objector, and Mr Barnes for the applicant, and
Councillor Naghi addressed the meeting.
RESOLVED: That permission be refused for
the following reasons:-
1. The development, by
virtue of its scale, length of terrace and
proximity
to the boundary, would have an adverse impact upon the outlook from
properties in Waterlow Road and have a
detrimental impact on residential amenity of the occupiers,
contrary to policies BE1 and H5 of the South East Plan 2009 and the
advice given in PPS1 and PPS3.
2. The design of the
proposal, in particular its layout, provides
substandard living conditions for future occupiers,
in particular the size of the outdoor amenity space, contrary to
policies BE1 and H5 of the South East Plan 2009 and the advice
given in PPS1 and PPS3.
