Why it was refused

  1. Due to the size and quantity of parking facilities, the distances and impact upon neighbouring proerties, the site is being overdeveloped. The site therefore fails to demonstrate the highest possible standards of design and is contrary to the requirements of Policy CS1 of the Core Strategy (Adopted) and PSP1 of the Policies Sites and Places Plan and Policies DP3 and L2 of the NPPF.
  2. The proposed development fails to provide policy compliant parking. Whilst being in a sustainable location because the practicalities of the layout and lack of on street parking to the site frontage, the proposal would result in vehicles waiting and manoeuvring around the zebra crossing, zig zag lines, hatching and pedestrian island to the detriment of highway safety. The application is therefore contrary to the requirements of Policies PSP16 of the Policies Sites and Places Plan (Adopted) and CS8 of the Core Strategy (Adopted) and Policies L2 and TR4 of the NPPF.
  3. The proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the level of amenity afforded to the dwellings to the north and east of the site by way of overbearing, overshadowing and loss of privacy. The application is therefore contrary to the requirements of Policy CS1 of the Core Strategy (Adopted) and PSP1 and PSP38 of the Policies Sites and Places Plan and L2 of the NPPF. IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 35 OF THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE) ORDER 2015.

From the council's decision notice.
