Core Refusal Reason
The applicant failed to demonstrate sufficient legal interest or right to develop a vehicular entrance over lands designated as public amenity space within the Oaklands Court estate.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant has not provided adequate evidence of legal title or consent to create a vehicular entrance across the existing grass verge, which forms part of the public open space for Oaklands Court.
- The proposed development would result in the loss of designated public amenity space, which is contrary to Policy SOC9 of the Local Area Plan and would negatively impact the residential amenity of the area.
- The current application fails to address the fundamental reasons for refusal issued in two previous planning applications (Reg. Refs: 20/979 and 21/855) regarding the applicant's right to carry out the works.
