Meeting: 12/09/2011 - Planning Committee (Item 60)
PDF 92 KBMinutes:
The Head of Planning and Regeneration Services reported the views of Natural England and Worcestershire Regulatory Services.
At the invitation of the Chairman, Mr. J. Watson addressed the Committee and spoke in opposition to the application, as did Mr. T. Flynn on behalf of Lickey and Blackwell Parish Council.
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 -
(a) the number and siting of the dwellings was out of keeping with the character of the area; and
(b) the development had a cramped appearance;
RESOLVED that permission be refused for the following reason:-
The proposed development, by virtue of its scale and position, would not reflect the character of the area contrary to policies S7 and DS13 of the Bromsgrove District Local Plan 2004 and the advice of Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 1 (the Council's Residential Design Guide).
