01. The proposed development, by means of its design would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of Chavey Down Road.

Therefore an alternative motion to refuse the application was proposed and seconded, and on being put to the vote was CARRIED.

RESOLVED that application 16/00396/FUL be REFUSED for the following reason:

1.     The proposed use would increase activity within the site, which would lead to additional  noise, vehicular movements in and around the site and additional visitors to the site connected to the proposed use . This intensification of the site would have a detrimental impact on the residential character of the area and would be an unneighbourly form of development. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Saved Policy EN20 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
