|
Additional documents: Minutes: Resolved: That the application be refused for the following reasons:
(i) Given the limited size of the site and the number of apartments that are proposed, the proposed development and associated bin storage facilities would have a cramped appearance that would be out of keeping with and visually harmful to Poplar Avenue. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy CSP1 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026, Policies R3 and R12 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Urban Design Supplementary Planning Document, and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2018).
(ii) The development is likely to lead to the loss of, or damage to, visually significant mature trees which will be detrimental to the appearance of the area contrary to Policy N12 of the Newcastle under Lyme Local Plan and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2018).
(iii) The proposed development, given the limited size of the site and the number of apartments that are proposed, would be of a scale that would result in an unacceptable overbearing impact on, and loss of privacy to, the occupants of the adjoining properties. In addition the requirements to provide sufficient bin storage space for the number of units proposed and the disturbance associated with collection of the waste and recycling material would further negatively impact upon and the amenity of neighbouring properties. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the aims and objectives of Policy CSP1 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026 and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2018).
(iv) Without an appropriate secured financial contribution relating to public open space the additional demands upon open space arising from the additional dwellings as proposed would not be suitably addressed. As such the development would be contrary to policies on the provision of open space for residential development, contrary to Policies CSP5 and CSP10 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026, saved Policy IM1 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme Local Plan 2011, Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council Supplementary Planning Document on Development Contributions (2007), the Newcastle-under-Lyme Open Space Strategy (March 2017), and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2018).
