Core Refusal Reason
The development constitutes overdevelopment of the site, providing inadequate private amenity space and negatively impacting neighboring residential amenities through overlooking and overbearing, while also contravening previous planning conditions.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development fails to provide adequate and acceptable private amenity space for future residents, resulting in the overdevelopment of the site.
- The retention of the dwelling would seriously injure the residential amenities of properties in the vicinity by reason of overlooking and an overbearing impact on private amenity space.
- The proposal materially contravenes Conditions 2 and 3 of a previous planning permission (T.P. 99/23675), which is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
