Erection of 2 x three bed dwellings on land adjacent to former Daruchini and formation of new access onto Forest Road.

 

A site visit had been held on Saturday 12 December 2015 which had been attended by Councillors Brossard, Dudley, Hill, Mrs Ingham, Mrs McKenzie-Boyle, Peacey and Thompson.

 

The Committee noted:

·         The supplementary report of the Head of Planning tabled at the meeting.

·         The comments of Binfield Parish Council recommending refusal.

·         Five objections from surrounding properties summarised as follows:

- The development would result in a loss of light and loss of privacy to the properties opposite the site.

- Loss of privacy to the properties at the rear of the site.

- Increase in traffic causing a highway safety issue.

- Lack of visibility due to the hedging at the front causing a highway safety issue.

- Concern that there would be an overflow of cars to the area, as visitor spaces are not provided.

- Parking provision being taken away from the community, as the car parking supported the parents of Binfield Primary School for a safe drop off and collection of children.

- Parking would be reduced for the former Daruchini building.
