Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment that would negatively impact residential amenity through overshadowing and overlooking, while also creating traffic hazards and failing to provide adequate drainage information.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The excessive height and depth of the structures would cause a material loss of light, overshadowing, and harmful overlooking of neighboring habitable rooms and private amenity spaces.
- The site layout provides insufficient space for safe vehicular parking and access, which would likely result in traffic hazards and the obstruction of neighboring property entrances.
- The lack of technical information regarding foul water drainage means the development could be prejudicial to public health and fails to meet sustainable development standards.
