18/03027       Mr Howells: Construction of new building comprising 11 x two bedroom and 3 x one bedroom flats with associated parking. Alteration to existing access and new bin enclosure at Windsor Physiotherapy, Essex Lodge, 69 Osborne Road, Windsor SL4 3EQ – THE PANEL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY to refuse planning permission in accordance with the Head of Planning’s recommendations for the reasons as listed below:

1.    The proposed development would appear cramped and unduly prominent in the street scene to the detriment of the spacious character and appearance of the site itself and the locality in general and the setting of the adjacent Conservation Area.

2.    The proposed development would appear overbearing and unduly prominent when viewed from Heron Lodge to the detriment of their living conditions.

3.    The proposal would result in future pressure to remove or reduce the adjacent Lime tree and insufficient space has been provided to secure any meaningful planting/landscaping.

4.    The proposal has failed to deliver any affordable housing in accordance with paragraph 64 of the NPPF.

5.    The drainage information supplied with the application has failed to adequately demonstrate an acceptable Sustainable Drainage System. As such, the proposal has failed to comply with emerging policy NR1 of the Borough Local Plan 2013-2033 Submission Version and guidance set out in paragraph 165 of the NPPF.

                        (The Panel was addressed by Richard Moir in objection and Kevin Scott on behalf of the applicant applicant).
