Core Refusal Reason
The proposed infill dwelling fails to address previous refusal grounds regarding inadequate private amenity space and the negative visual impact of a high boundary wall on the public realm.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The layout fails to overcome previous refusal reasons (SD21A/0002) specifically relating to insufficient private amenity space and the introduction of a high boundary wall.
- The development is contrary to the provisions of Section 12.6.8 of the County Development Plan 2022-2028 regarding Residential Consolidation.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments that would be cumulatively harmful to the residential amenities and proper planning of the area.
