Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposal constitutes haphazard backland development on a constrained site that relies on access across public amenity open space, which would negatively impact the character and function of the area and set an undesirable precedent.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed development would result in haphazard, substandard backland development on a constrained site that is out of character with the established pattern of development in the surrounding residential area.
  • The reliance on public amenity open space for access is unacceptable and would detract from the layout, character, and function of that open space, setting an undesirable precedent for similar developments.
  • The proposal would seriously injure the residential amenities of property in the vicinity and is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
