Decision details

The Head of Planning and Regeneration Services reported the receipt of additional comments from West Mercia Constabulary, together with five additional letters of objection to the proposals.

At the invitation of the Chairman, Ms. D. Blakeway addressed the Committee and spoke in opposition to the application.  Councillor J. S. Brogan also addressed the Committee in his capacity as one of the Ward Members for the area in which the application site was located.

Consideration was then given to the application which had been recommended for approval by the Head of Planning and Regeneration Services.  However, on the matter being put to the vote, Members considered that the development would:-

(a)       result in overdevelopment of the site, and therefore be at odds with the character of the locality;

(b)       be detrimental to existing residential amenity through loss of privacy and outlook; and

(c)        lead to unacceptable traffic implications and negatively impact on the amenities of existing residents by virtue of exacerbating on-road parking issues inherent in Chadcote Way.

RESOLVED that permission be refused for reasons (a), (b) and (c) above.
