Core Refusal Reason
The proposal fails to meet the criteria for family flats regarding internal connectivity and justification, while also constituting overdevelopment that compromises residential amenity and local character.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development fails to provide required details regarding the necessity of the family flat and lacks an internal connection to the main dwelling, violating specific standards for such units.
- The proposal represents overdevelopment of the site that would result in an inadequate level of residential amenity for future occupants.
- The design is considered ad hoc and out of character with the surrounding area, setting an undesirable precedent that would be contrary to proper planning and sustainable development.
