| 1. | The proposed development will result in a singular new dwelling positioned behind an established line of buildings without a road frontage of its own. This layout creates a dwelling which is contrary to the prevailing character and layout of the area and creates an isolated dwelling without a positive relationship to its surroundings. The prevailing character on the south side of Meadowcroft Bungalows is one of modest bungalows forming a singular line of properties with long, narrow gardens in a west to east pattern. The subdivision of the garden creates a development unsympathetic to its surroundings by removing the long open gardens. Accordingly the Local planning Authority considers the development contrary to criterion A of saved policy HOU7 of the Borough Wide Local Plan and part A of policy CS9 of the adopted Core Strategy. |
| 2. | The proposed dwelling subject of this application is positioned adjacent to a new development to the rear of Meadowcroft Bungalows. The properties to the rear are two storey facing southwards meaning a new dwelling at the rear of 12 Meadowcroft will be overlooked. This is considered by the Local Planning Authority to be a significantly adverse impact contrary to the aims of paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework which seeks a good standard of amenity for all existing and future occupiers of the land. Consequently the application is refused as it does not conform with the provisions of saved policy HOU7 and HOU17 of the Borough Wide Local Plan and paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework. |
| 3. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: 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. |
