No.Condition Text
1.The restricted size of the land produces a contrived development which is out of character in scale, appearance and density with the surrounding area. The proposed subdivision of the land would be significantly detrimental to the character and form of the area and the dwellings within the locality contrary to policy HOU7 and HOU17 of the Borough Wide Local Plan. The poor quality layout and design would provide a detrimental amenity for future occupants of the land and occupants of the adjoining properties contrary to paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework and policy HOU16 of the Borough Wide Local Plan and policy CS9 of the Core Strategy.
2.The access is unsatisfactory to serve the proposed development by reason of its inadequate width and the proposal would therefore lead to the manoeuvring of vehicles on the highways to the detriment of highway safety contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS16 and HOU7 of the Borough Wide Local Plan.
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 Core Strategy Policies CS9 and CS16, the National Planning Policy Framework and the Borough Wide Local Plan policy HOU7.
4.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.
