Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development was deemed over-dominant in its scale and layout, failing to provide an adequate buffer from the road network while lacking essential details on residential amenity, flood risk management, and traffic safety.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The building's footprint and three-storey height are considered over-dominant in the streetscape due to the lack of a sufficient setback from the northern boundary and Tom Bellew Avenue.
- The proposal lacks sufficient detail to ensure high-quality residential amenity, specifically regarding the management of refuse, bulky storage, and the security and privacy of communal and private open spaces.
- The applicant failed to provide necessary technical assessments, including a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment for Flood Zone B and a Road Safety Audit to address potential traffic hazards at the adjoining junctions.
