Infill and side extensions to lodges to provide 7 x one bedroom and 2 x two bedroom dwellings and associated bin stores.

 

Councillor Love proposed to move REFUSAL, against Officers recommendation for the following reason: That the proposal amounted to an overdevelopment of an already cramped site and would harm the character and appearance of the locality. Furthermore, the proposal would result in the loss of the existing gaps between the buildings creating an unacceptable built mass. Consequently the proposals are contrary to policies H10(I), H11 and DG1(II). This was seconded by Councillor Sharp.

It was Unanimously Agreed to REFUSE the application.
