Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decisions:
It was noted that Members had visited the site on the previous day.
The officer suggested two additional reasons for refusal as the Highway Authority had raised objections over the increased use of the existing access which had severely restricted exit visibility and also that the potential for roosting bats using the site had not been fully investigated.
The following spoke under the Authority’s Public Participation Scheme:
· Mr R Bryan, Agent
The recommendation of refusal including the two additional reasons was moved, seconded, voted upon and carried.
RESOLVED:
|
That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons: |
|
1. |
Contrary to Policy HC1C II, that the proposed development is not required to conserve or enhance the site and the wider Conservation Area.
|
|
2. |
Inappropriate scale and design of the new dwelling, contrary to policies GSP3, L3, LC4 and LC5. |
3. The proposals would increase use of the existing access where exit visibility is severely restricted due to lack of highway margins and the boundary walls.
4. The potential for roosting bats at the site had not been fully investigated.
