1.The amenity space for the proposed dwelling is of poor quality and usability, given its triangular shape, narrow proportions and small size. The amenity space would be insufficient for the requirements of the proposed two bedroom, four person, family dwelling in this location, resulting in a cramped layout to the detriment of future occupiers and the character of the surrounding area. The development would therefore be contrary to Policy DC61 of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document and the Design for Living Residential Design Supplementary Planning Document.

3.The proposed building would, by reason of its height, scale, bulk, mass, siting and position close to the boundaries of the site, be an unneighbourly development and appear overbearing, dominant and visually intrusive in the rear garden environment and result in a loss of outlook and light harmful to the amenity of neighbouring properties, particularly No.'s 1-8 Kerry Court contrary to Policy DC61 of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document.
4.The proposed development would, by reason of its servicing and access arrangements, cause harm to the safe and convenient operation of the highway in the vicinity of the site and therefore be contrary to Policies DC32, DC34 and DC36 of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document 2008, which seek to ensure that new development does not have an adverse impact on the functioning of the road hierarchy.
