No.Condition Text
1.The proposed 2no. detached bungalow element of the development would, by reason of its prominent rear garden location, height, bulk and mass, appear as an incongruous and unacceptably dominant, overbearing and visually intrusive feature in the rear garden setting which would be harmful to the appearance of the surrounding area contrary to Policy DC61 of the LDF Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD.
2.The proposed 2no. detached bungalow element of the development would, by reason of its layout and servicing arrangements, result in an unsatisfactory relationship between the proposed dwellings, the site boundary and their setting within the plot leading to a cramped over-development of the site contrary to Policy DC61 of the LDF Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD.
3.The proposal, by reason of the cramped and poor quality amenity areas, and the failure of the internal layout to comply with the Technical housing standards - nationally described space standard in respect of the minimum gross internal floor area, is considered to result in an overly cramped development on the site to the detriment of future residential amenity and contrary to Policy DC61 of the LDF Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD.
4.In the absence of a legal agreement to secure contributions towards the demand for school places arising from the development, the proposal fails to satisfactorily mitigate the infrastructure impact of the development, contrary to the provisions of Policies DC29 and DC72 of the Development Control Policies DPD and Policy 8.2 of the London Plan.
5.Statement Required by Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015: Consideration was given to seeking amendments, but given conflict with adopted planning policy, notification of intended refusal and the reasons for it was given to the agent Lewis Cook of Form Architecture on 2/3/16 via email.
6.The proposal, if granted planning permission on appeal, would be liable for the Mayor of London Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Based upon the information supplied with the application, the CIL payable would be £5860.00. Further details with regard to CIL are available from the Council's website.
