Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment and an intensification of use that would seriously injure the residential and visual amenities of the established residential area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The intensification of use on-site would result in cumulative noise pollution and potential anti-social behavior, seriously injuring the residential amenities of nearby dwellings.
- The development to be retained is visually obtrusive and out of character with the established residential area, representing an overdevelopment of the site.
- The proposal is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area and the specific zoning objectives for Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods.
