1.Policy HOU 16 of the Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local Plan states:- "In assessing proposals for development the Borough Council will have regard to the density of the surrounding area. Sub-division of plots will be resisted where it would be likely to lead to development out of character and scale with the surroundings". The proposal involves the creation of an irregular shaped and comparatively small plot and, if permitted, would, both by itself and by the cumulative effect of similar developments that could follow as a result of the precedent that would be established, damage the character and amenity of this predominantly residential neighbourhood. Consequently, the proposal is contrary to the above policy which seeks to safeguard the character of existing settlements and avoid the undesirable effects of "town cramming".
