1. 1.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed creation of a goods entrance and associated roller shutter door on the rear elevation facing Kepler Grove would result in an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of nearby occupiers. The introduction of a large goods entrance in this location would significantly intensify activity on this elevation, altering its existing function as a largely inactive rear façade. The development would formalise and facilitate delivery activity directly adjacent to residential properties, increasing the potential for noise and disturbance arising from vehicle manoeuvring, loading/unloading operations and prolonged periods during which the shutter is open. The proposal therefore increases the likelihood of noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents. The proposal is therefore contrary to saved UDP Policy GP5 and Policy P10 of the Core Strategy, which seek to protect residential amenity, and to guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
2. 2.The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed formation of a new goods entrance and roller shutter door on Kepler Grove would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety. The proposal would formalise and intensify delivery operations, increasing the likelihood of vehicles stopping within the carriageway where there is insufficient space for safe loading and unloading. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy T2, saved UDP Policy GP5, the Transport SPD (2023), and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework, all of which seek to ensure that development does not adversely impact the safe and efficient operation of the highway network.
