| 1. | The erection of a building consisting of seven apartments on the site of a single dwelling is an overdevelopment of the site that, by virtue of the intensification of use and additional parking requirements, would be likely to lead to disturbance to occupiers of adjoining dwellings. The additional bulk of the building in comparison with the adjoining dwellings would result in a building that is over dominant and out of character in the street scene. A development of this nature would also set a precedent for the redevelopment of other dwellings on large plots with flats, leading to a change in character of the area. The overall bulk and size of the building and the use as seven apartments would be contrary to criteria (A) and (E) of Policy HOU7 of the Borough-Wide Local Plan in that it would be significantly detrimental to the form and character of the area and to the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers. Although it is not a 'Listed Building' the existing dwelling is of local importance and its loss would be contrary to Policy BNV8 of the Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
