Councillors Bunn and Marshall requested that this proposal come before Committee.

The Committee noted the late items. 

Two public speakers, Mr Damian McGrath, opposing, and Mr. Leeven Fleet, applicant, supporting, made representation to the Committee before the general debate.

The Committee noted all the information pertaining to the application.  The debate focused on the loss of light, privacy and parking issues the application would generate to the neighbouring pub garden should it be approved.

RESOLVED that planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

1. The proposed development by virtue of massing, scale and design would have a detrimental impact on the living conditions of surrounding residential properties and the adjacent Public House through overbearing, and loss of light due to the increased massing and density of the proposal.  Therefore, the proposal is contrary to Policies 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Policy 10 of the Aligned Core strategy (2014).

2. The proposed development fails to provide a mix of sustainable travel options due to a lack of parking provision on site, the proposal therefore contrary to Policies 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019).
