RESOLVED:  That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:-

 

1.    The proposed development, by virtue of siting, scale and massing, would result in an over intensive, unacceptable form of development that is not in keeping with the form and character of the surrounding area nor would integrate successfully within the street scene.  The development would therefore be contrary to Core Policy 3 (Delivering Sustainable Development), and Policy BE1 (High Quality Development) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy (2015); guidance in the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: “Sustainable Design” (2015); and the National Planning Policy Framework;

2.    The proposed development is of poor design which would not be in keeping with the design of surrounding dwellings, contrary to Core Policy 3 (Delivering Sustainable Development), and Policy BE1 (High Quality Development) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy (2015); guidance in the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: “Sustainable Design” (2015); and the National Planning Policy Framework.

RESOLVED:  That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:-

 

1.    By virtue of the backland form of development and the formation of additional parking area, the proposal would be detrimental to the character and setting of a Grade II Listed Building.  The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to Grade II Listed Building with no public benefits provided to outweigh the harm.  The development would therefore be contrary to Core Policy 14 (Our Built and Historic Environment) and Policy BE1 (High Quality Development) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy (2015), Historic Environment Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework;

2.    The development, by virtue of the loss of garden and wildlife is contrary to Policies NR3 (Biodiversity, Protected Species & their Habitats) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy (2015), the Biodiversity and Development Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework;

3.    The development would be unable to provide adequate vehicle turning area within the site to allow vehicles to leave the site in forward gear, without impacting upon the character and setting of the Grade II Listed Building.  This would therefore be contrary to Core Policy 14 (Our Built and Historic Environment) and Policy BE1 (High Quality Development) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy (2015), Historic Environment Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.
