No.Condition Text
1.The scale and location of the proposed dwelling is out of keeping with the character of the area and will have a significant detrimental effect of the amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining properties and as such is contrary to policy HOU7 (A) (E) of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan. The subdivision of the land will lead to a form of development out of character with the area contrary to policy HOU17 of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan. In addition the increase in vehicle movements by an un-related property directly adjacent to the donor dwelling will have significant adverse effects on the current and future occupiers. These adverse effects are further exacerbated by the significant size of the property proposed and the number of occupiers and potential cars that may reside at the property. Development in this location in contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, the adopted Core Strategy and the Borough Wide Local Plan.
2.The unclassified road serving the site is considered to be inadequate to serve the development proposed, by reason of its restricted width, lack of footway provision and restricted visibility at adjacent road junctions. The proposal, if permitted, would be likely to give rise to conditions detrimental to highway safety. Contrary to policy CS9 of the adopted Core Strategy.
3.As far as can be determined from the submitted plans, the applicant does not appear to control sufficient land to provide adequate visibility at the site access. The proposed development would therefore be detrimental to highway safety. Contrary to policy CS9 of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan.
4.The proposal does not incorporate adequate facilities for the servicing of the premises and would therefore result in the manoeuvring of vehicles on the adjoining highway to the detriment of highway safety contrary to policy CS9 of the Core Strategy.
5.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
