the demolition of the existing derelict dwelling (64.7sqm) and outbuildings (145.8sqm); construction of a residential scheme comprised of 4 no. houses (2 no. 3-bed, 2 storey houses and 2 no. 4 bed, 2 storey with dormer attic houses); 10 no. car parking spaces; cycle parking; hard landscaping; public lighting; boundary treatments; internal roads and reconfiguration of existing entrances at L5046 to provide a single multi-modal entrance; and all associated works above and below ground

Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The development is considered premature pending the determination of the N11/M11 Junction 4 to 14 Improvement Scheme and is visually unsympathetic to the character of the area at a gateway location.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed development is located within the constraints study area for the N11/M11 Junction 4 to 14 Improvement Scheme and is therefore premature pending the selection of a preferred route, as it could prejudice the delivery of this national road project.
  • The proposal would be contrary to Objectives TR18 and TR19 of the County Development Plan, which require the reservation of corridors for major road improvements and the restriction of development immediately adjacent to interchanges.
  • The design, scale, and massing of the proposed dwellings are considered unsympathetic to the existing character and pattern of development at this prominent gateway entry point to Kilpedder, resulting in a negative visual impact.
