Proposed erection of 2no. 3 bedroom semi-detached houses with parking, following demolition of existing double garage.

Minutes:

Proposed erection of 2no. 3 bedroom semi-detached houses with parking, following demolition of existing double garage.

 

The Committee noted:

 

       The supplementary report tabled at the meeting.

       The comments from Bracknell Town Council objecting to the proposal.

       The 26 objections received as summarised in the agenda.

       The additional representation received as detailed in the supplementary report.

 

A motion to APPROVE the recommendation in the officer report was proposed but

fell at the vote.

 

Therefore, an alternative motion to REFUSE the application was proposed and

seconded, and on being put to the vote was CARRIED.

 

RESOLVED that application 22/00548/FUL be REFUSED for the following reasons:-

 

1.     By reason of the layout, the proposed development would result in a cramped form of development out of keeping with the character of the surrounding area. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Saved Policy EN20 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, Policy CS7 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document, the Design Supplementary Planning Document (March 2017), Policies HO1, HO7 and HO8 of the Bracknell Town Neighbourhood Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

2.     In the absence of a planning obligation to secure suitable avoidance and mitigation measures and access management monitoring arrangements, in terms that are satisfactory to the Local Planning Authority, the proposal would be contrary to Regulation 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), Policy NRM6 of the South East Plan, Policy EN3 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan, Policy CS14 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document and the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Supplementary Planning Document (2018).

2m high boundary fence.

 

A motion to APPROVE the recommendation in the officer report was proposed but fell at the vote at the Planning Committee on the 15 December 2022.

seconded, and on being put to the vote was CARRIED.

 

RESOLVED that application 21/00978/FUL be REFUSED for the following reason:-

 

1.     The proposed change of use would, as a result of the associated noise, activity and smoke/fumes from fires, cause an unacceptable loss of amenity to adjacent residential properties, contrary to Policies EN20 and EN25 of the Bracknell Forest Borough Local Plan and the NPPF.
