Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
The Committee resolved:-
To refuse the application. Due to a failure to provide an appropriate mix of dwelling types and sizes, specifically the lack of dwelling houses versus flats, the proposal would be contrary to Policy H4 (Housing Mix).
The excessive density and number of flats proposed on the site is contrary to Policy H3 (Density) in that it does not have adequate consideration of the site’s characteristics and those of the surrounding area or create an attractive residential environment and safeguard living conditions within the development;
The lack of parking provision to be provided on site when compared to the Councils Transport and Accessibility Supplementary Guidance would exacerbate existing on-street parking to the detriment of safety and residential amenity, contrary to Policy T2 (Managing the Transport Impact of Development).
