D23A/0268

The proposed development represents an inappropriate design due to a poor street interface, inadequate internal daylight levels, and a failure to demonstrate safe vehicular turning movements, which would result in a poor standard of residential amenity and negatively impact the visual character of the area.

• The extensive under-croft parking creates a poor interface with the streetscape and fails to provide an active frontage, dominating the property's width in contravention of development plan standards.
• The significant depth of the first-floor overhang (4.7m) would severely restrict natural light and sky visibility for the ground-floor living rooms, resulting in an unacceptable level of residential amenity for future occupants.
• The applicant failed to provide adequate vehicle tracking or evidence that safe turning movements can be achieved on the narrow lane, creating potential traffic hazards and obstructions for other road users.
