Minutes:
Councillors English, Harwood and Hastie stated that they had been lobbied.
The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning and Development.
Mrs Blake, an objector, and Mr Holley, for the applicant, addressed the meeting.
Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, the Committee agreed to refuse permission. In making this decision, the Committee felt that the proposed development, by virtue of its cramped form of layout and design, does not reflect the character and appearance of the wider surrounding area and would result in an incongruous built form and would not achieve a high quality design. The proposal would therefore fail to comply with paragraphs 57 and 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
RESOLVED: That permission be refused for the following reason:
The proposed development, by virtue of its cramped form of layout and design, does not reflect the character and appearance of the wider surrounding area and would result in an incongruous built form and would not achieve a high quality design. The proposal would therefore fail to comply with paragraphs 57 and 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
