RAF Eastcote, Lime Grove, Ruislip - 10189/APP/2010/1901 PDF 202 KB Provision of glazed conservatories to plots 222-224 and 259-261 (Application to vary parts of the approved layout under Reserved Matters approval ref: 10189/APP/2007/3046 Dated 13/03/2008) (Details of siting, design, external appearance and landscaping in compliance with condition 2 of outline planning permission ref: 10189/APP/2007/3383 Dared 21/02/2008: Residential development.)
Recommendation: APPROVAL
Minutes: Officers drew the Committee’s attention to changes in the Addendum.
The Committee noted that only 3 of the 6 plots complied with the Council’s guidance on amenity space and having taken the measurements into consideration, the Committee decided to overturn the officer recommendation.
The recommendation for approval with the amendments on the Addendum was overturned. It was moved and seconded and on being put to the vote was agreed that the application be refused for the following reason:
The proposal would result in the reduction of private amenity space available to the dwellings below a level which is considered acceptable for the size of dwellings proposed, particularly in relation to plots 222, 223 and 260. As a result a cramped appearance would arise, with inadequate amenity space for the dwellings to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers. The proposal would, therefore, be contrary to policy BE23 of the Hillingdon Unitary Development Plan (Saved Policies September 2007) and to the Council's adopted Supplementary Planning Documents HDAS: Residential Layouts.
Resolved – That the officer recommendation be overturned and the application be refused
