The proposed and potential further intensification of residential use within Class C4, the decrease in off-street parking and location near a turning head at the end of a long residential cul-de-sac would result in a concentration of houses in multiple occupation, a loss of relatively greater-needed housing, and a harmful impact on the character of the area and on safe and convenient access, contrary to the draft Houses in Multiple Occupation Supplementary Planning Document (2022), Policies 8 and 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Section 12 of the NPPF (2021).
2. The proximity of nearby buildings to the proposed new windows would result in an insufficient outlook for future occupiers contrary to Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014) and Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019) and Section 12 of the NPPF (2021). |
