30 Alanbrooke Avenue Newport NP20 6QJ

1. 1.The proposal by reasons of its location, scale, design and appearance will result in a prominent and obtrusive development that is unsympathetic with the surrounding area and harmful to the character and appearance and visual amenity of the streetscene. It will set an undesirable precedent for similar development elsewhere along this street to the detriment of its pleasant amenity. This is contrary to Policies GP2 and GP6 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011 - 2026 (Adopted January 2015) and the adopted House Extensions and Supplementary Planning Guidance.
2. 2.The proposed driveway will cause significant harm to interests of acknowledged importance, namely highway and pedestrian safety and highway drainage by reason of its substandard depth and layout, location and lack of visibility with no positive and sustainable surface water drainage proposed. This is contrary to Policy GP4 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026 (January 2015) and adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance on Parking standards and no information has been provided to mitigate this objection.
3. 3.The development will have a significant adverse impact upon interests of acknowledged importance, namely biodiversity and green infrastructure as results in the loss of landscape features with no mitigation or justification. No Green Infrastructure Statement or ecological information has been submitted to mitigate this objection to the detriment of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. This is contrary to Policy SP1, SP9 and GP5 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026 (adopted January 2015), Chapter 6 of Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12) and Policy 9 (Resilient Ecological Networks and Green Infrastructure) of Future Wales.
