PROPOSAL

The construction of 4 low energy maisonettes with associated services and landscaping.

The community council heard an officer’s introduction to the report and members asked questions of the officer.

The objectors were present to make representations and responded to questions from members.

Members heard representations from the applicant’s agent who responded to questions from members.

There were no local supporters or ward members who wished to speak.

Members debated the application.

RESOLVED:

That planning application 11-AP-1923 be refused on the following grounds:

1.  The overall design of the proposed development is out of character and not in keeping with the area.

2.  The quality and urban design of the scheme and the impact it would have on the nature reserve and green corridor contravene policies 3.12, 3.13 and 3.28 of the Southwark Plan and Section 11 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

3.  The loss of buffer zone and negative impact on the nature reserve.

4.  The lack of parking would create an unacceptable impact on the local area and cause  overspill in surrounding streets.

5.  The loss of visual amenity to the immediate neighbours and the effect it would have on the woodland character of the area.
