19/00314/F - 38 Fir Tree Road, Banstead, Surrey, SM7 1NG

Replacement of existing building C3 Dwelling House to allow for 5. No unit C3 residential flats.

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered an application at 38 Fir Tree Road in Banstead for the replacement of the existing building C3 dwelling house to allow for 5 units of C3 residential flats.

Mr Martin Briggs, a local resident, spoke in objection to the application on the grounds that the development would cause harm to highway safety and because construction of the site would create unacceptable disruption for neighbouring residents.

Mr Lee Whiteman, the applicant’s agent, spoke in support of the application on the grounds that the development was compatible with the existing character in the area; was compliant with parking standards; adhered to the local and national planning policy framework; and, because there had been no objection from the county highways authority in relation to the highways safety issues raised.

Councillor R. Feeney, a Ward Member for Nork, spoke in objection to the application on the grounds that the proposed development would be harmful to the character of the area as a result of a car dominated frontage and cramped overdevelopment of the site.

A motion to refuse the application was proposed and seconded and upon a vote it was RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED on the grounds that:

The development would, by virtue of the bulk, scale and massing of the proposed building, limited separation to the boundaries, the extent of frontage car parking and associated hard surfacing and limited rear amenity space, represent an overdevelopment of the site which would be out of keeping with, and harmful to, the character of the locality. The proposal would therefore be contrary to policies Ho9, Ho13 and Ho16 of the Reigate and Banstead Local Plan 2005, policy CS4 of the Reigate and Banstead Core Strategy and the provisions of the NPPF in relation to “Achieving well-designed places”.
