| 1. | Due to the cramped size of the plot, the resultant dwelling is of an inadequate size and would fail to provide sufficient living space for future occupiers. Moreover, the property would have a cramped rear garden, contrary to the prevailing urban grain with it being particularly enclosed and providing an oppressive space for future users meaning that the use of the garden area would likely be constrained. This over-development is contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS09 A/F and Local Plan Part 2 Policies A1 and A2 C. |
| 2. | The proposal does not incorporate adequate on-site vehicular parking and manoeuvring facilities to the standard required by the Local Planning Authority and removes the existing parking provision for the donor dwelling. The proposal, if permitted, would therefore be likely to lead to an undesirable increase in on-street parking and exacerbate existing pressures which would be contrary to Core Strategy Policies CS09 E and CS16 . |
| 3. | The application site is located within the Green 2.5km+ Indicative Habitat Impact Zone but the application is not supported by the required £185.93 GIRAMS contribution, which is necessary for the purposes of satisfying the Council's duty to avoid impacts on internationally protected site through the use of the Green Infrastructure Recreational Avoidance Mitigation Strategy (GIRAMS). As such the Local Planning Authority cannot fully assess the additional impact upon the designated sites within the Borough without satisfaction that the required mitigation would be provided. Consequently, the application is contrary to Core Policy CS11 from the Core Strategy and Local Plan Part 2 Policies GSP5 and GSP8 which seek to avoid or mitigate the cumulative potential adverse impacts to designated sites arising from development. |
| 4. | The proposal does not address the public open space demands of the development, whether by on-site provision or through means to secure financial contributions towards off-site provision, as required by adopted Local Plan Part 2 policy H4. It has not been demonstrated that it is otherwise unviable to do so, nor that there is a surplus of open space within the ward rendering the requirement unnecessary. As such, the impacts of the development and the pressures the development places on public open spaces have not been mitigated and the proposal is contrary to policy H4 and the application fails to comply with Core Strategy policies CS14 (Securing appropriate contributions from new Developments) and CS15 (Providing and protecting community assets and green infrastructure), and Local Plan Part 2 policy GSP8 (Planning Obligations). |
| 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. |
