[To consider the planning application]

The Committee considered a report regarding 20/00422/OUT - Proposals for one dormer bungalow on land to rear of 13 & 15 Richmond Avenue (access and layout to be assessed) (amended plans and description from two bungalows to one and a garage has been introduced).

Mr Sam Davis addressed the Committee and spoke in opposition to the application.

Mr Richard Taylor addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the application.

Megan Benbow, Planning Officer, responded to statements made and advised that the proposals were not acceptable.

Councillor Muston moved the recommendations and Councillor Page seconded the recommendations.

Resolved:

That planning application 20/00422/OUT be refused for the following reasons:

• Overdevelopment of the plot which would be cramped in appearance and out of character.
• Inadequate private amenity space.
• Unacceptable overbearing impact and loss of outlook to Numbers 11 and 13 Richmond Avenue.
• Noise and disturbance from vehicular movements along the newly created drive which would have an adverse impact on neighbouring rear gardens of Numbers 13 and 15 Richmond.
• Failure to demonstrate that the layout of the proposed development could be achieved without having any adverse impact on the adjacent large mature trees.
