Minutes:
Two -storey detached building with habitable roof space to create eight two-bed flats with associated amenity space, parking and installation of vehicular crossover, involving demolition of existing dwelling house.
Officers introduced the proposed development, which sought the demolition of the existing dwelling and erection of a two-storey building, with habitable roofspace, providing eight two-bed flats.
A petitioner spoke in objection to the application, noting that the bulk and size of the proposal were too large, and it included features that were out of keeping with the street scene. The Committee heard that residents believed the application was an overdevelopment in a Conservation Area, and would exacerbate traffic, parking and road safety issues in the area, as well as increasing noise and air pollution.
Members agreed that the application was out of keeping in the surrounding area, and noted that there were multiple reasons for refusal that were agreeable. The Committee moved, seconded, and unanimously agreed the officer's recommendation.
RESOLVED: That the application was refused.
