for the construction of 2 no. 4 bedroom storey and a half dwellings, new access lane off entrance previously granted under planning ref: 2460190 (currently under construction) diversion and connection to existing foul sewer traversing site, boundary treatments, landscaping and all associated site works. Revised by Significant Further Information which consists of: Alterations to proposed house types, alterations to proposed vehicular entrance including priority junction, alterations to proposed boundary treatments/landscaping and all associated site works
Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development was considered unacceptable due to the excessive scale and height of dwelling 26A, which would result in overbearing impacts, and the poor site configuration of dwelling 26B, which provides inadequate separation distances and substandard residential amenity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The scale and height of dwelling no. 26A are deemed excessive and not in keeping with the character of surrounding properties, leading to potential overbearing impacts on adjacent residential amenity.
- The site layout for dwelling no. 26B is unsatisfactory, with inadequate separation distances from southern and eastern boundaries and poorly configured private open space and parking.
- The proposed access lane and entrance design are considered to have excessive hardstanding and fail to sufficiently prioritize pedestrian safety or meet the requirements for a priority junction.
