| 1. | There is inadequate space within the control of the applicant to provide the required bin storage needed for a C4 use class HMO to achieve the level expected by Local Plan Part 2 Policy H12 whilst maintaining appropriate levels of amenity and safety for occupants and neighbours. The proposed location of refuse bin storage in the shared alleyway is not considered acceptable and would act as an obstacle to the rear access and to other properties which utilise the alleyway. The application is therefore contrary to Local Plan Part 2 (2021) Policy H12 A. |
| 2. | As a retrospective application the floor plans do not match the internal layout of the application site, and in practice the room labelled as 'communal living' is only accessible through the bedroom labelled 'room 1' on the plans. This would be detrimental to the amenity of occupants of room 1 and would lead to an oppressive living environment for the occupant of room 1 by virtue of offering an unacceptably minimal level of privacy and frequent disturbances. This is contrary to Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS09 F and Local Plan Part 2 (2021) Policy A1. |
| 3. | The plans submitted as part of this application have not proven to be accurate and therefore, due to a lack of detail, it is not possible to be sure that the layout is correct and the necessary standards of residential amenity can be achieved; it is not considered that using appropriate conditions would be able to rectify this. |
| 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. |
