Minutes:
The Head of Planning and Regeneration Services reported the receipt of an additional representation in respect of the application, and the response thereto of the applicant.
At the invitation of the Chairman, Ms. J. Geater addressed the Committee and spoke in objection to the proposals, as did Mr. A. 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 the development would -
(a) be out of keeping with the existing form and layout of development in the locality; and
(b) be harmful to the visual amenities of the locality.
RESOLVED that permission be refused for reasons (a) and (b) above.
