1.The proposed upgraded access to serve the development would present an increased danger to pedestrians using the footway outside of the site due to the inadequate pedestrian visibility splays that would be provided contrary to Policy DC26 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD and the guidance in the National planning policy Framework.
2.The proposed development would result in material harm to the amenities of occupiers of nearby residential properties by reason of the noise and general disturbance that would arise from social functions and other activities held at the new church hall. In particular harm would be caused by external activities including the intensification of vehicular use of the site access and car parking areas which would materially affect the reasonable use and enjoyment of rear gardens by residents. These impacts would be contrary to Policies DC26 and DC61 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Polices Development Plan Document and the guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.
3.The proposed development would result in an increase in the capacity of the church hall and notwithstanding the increased car parking capacity there would still be a shortfall in relation to the adopted car parking standards. This shortfall in on-site car parking for the proposed larger building would be likely to cause overspill car parking in Wennington Road to the further detriment of the amenities of local residents contrary to Policies DC33 and DC61 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Polices Development Plan Document and the guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.
4.Statement Required by Article 31 (cc) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management) Order 2010: Consideration was given to seeking amendments, but given conflict with adopted planning policy, notification of intended refusal, rather than negotiation, was in this case appropriate in accordance with para 186-187 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.
