Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment of a restricted site, resulting in a cramped and substandard residential environment that is detrimental to road safety and the amenities of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The constrained shared surface access and orientation of the development fail to comply with DMURS requirements, posing a significant risk to public and road safety.
- The layout represents overdevelopment of a restricted site, resulting in a cramped form with inadequate provision for public open space, refuse storage, and cycle parking.
- The proposed design fails to integrate with the existing character of Grange Heights and would result in a poor residential environment that depreciates the amenity of the surrounding area.
