Two proposed dwellings to the rear of 48 Brighton Road.

The Committee considered an application at the land to the rear of 48 Brighton Road and to the rear of 10 Church Road in Horley for two proposed dwellings to the rear of 48 Brighton Road.

Councillor C. Stevens proposed a motion to refuse the application on the grounds that:

The proposed development, by virtue of the limited space around the new access drive, parking spaces and proposed houses, would appear cramped with limited opportunity for soft landscaping which, due to the back-land location fronting onto the adjacent large surface car park, would appear an incongruous form of development out of keeping with and harmful to the pattern of development and character of the surrounding area, contrary to Policies Ho9, Ho13 and Ho14 of the Reigate and Banstead Borough Local Plan 2005, Policy CS4 of the Reigate and Banstead Core Strategy 2014 and guidance contained within the Local Distinctiveness Design Guide SPG 2004.

The motion to refuse the application was not seconded and therefore did not proceed to a vote.

RESOLVED that planning permission be GRANTED with conditions, as per the recommendation.
