Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in a five-bedroom house for which a minimum of 3 spaces of on- site vehicle parking are required by the Council's Parking Standards SPD (2018). The proposal would subsequently result in the displacement of cars onto the highway which would increase demand on parking spaces for existing residents. This would be harmful to the amenities of the neighbourhood and may cause residents to drive further to find a parking space which would increase C02 emissions. This would be contrary to Core Strategy policy CS18: Transport and Accessibility which implements the SPD minimum parking standards for dwellings.
  2. The application includes an air conditioning unit for which no specification has been submitted, and no assessment of noise generation has been provided. In the absence of information to the contrary the development may result in noise disturbance to neighbouring residential properties. The proposal would conflict with the requirements of Core Strategy policy CS21: Design and Development Management policy DM7: Noise and light pollution.
  3. The application would result in the loss of solar panels to the rear of the application dwelling. No alterative source of renewable energy to supply at least 10% of the developments requirements has been identified. The proposal would conflict with the aims of Chapter 14 of the NPPF, Core Strategy policy CS23: Renewable and low carbon energy generation and the Climate Change SPD.
