| 1. | The proposal is contrary to Policy HOU6 of the Modified Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local Plan in that (a) it would be out of keeping with the form and character of existing development in the locality, and (b) it would result in conditions significantly detrimental to the residential amenities of neighbouring occupiers.
In particular, the proposal, which as a consequence of the relatively narrow plots would constitute an overdevelopment of the site, involves dwellings of virtually two full storeys. Such dwellings would appear incongruous in this locality and would, in view of their height and first floor windows at the rear, be unneighbourly in that the adjacent properties would suffer loss of light and/or privacy. |
| 2. | Penguin Road is an unmade private roadway of single track width, which currently serves in excess of five dwellings. It is, consequently, unsuitable to cater for the additional vehicular movements that the proposal will generate, and, as such, the proposal is also contrary to Policy HOU6 in terms of the access arrangements. |
