Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reason of the scale and extent of built from proposed in comparison to the
existing level of development on site, the proposal would reduce the area of
green open space on the site, with no replacement or compensatory provision
provided, contrary to NPPF paragraph 99, DMPD policy DMO1 and Emerging
Policy LP53, with the resultant harm to visual amenity and loss of potential
space for informal recreation.
Director of Environment and Community Services: Paul Chadwick
2
By reason of the proposed loss of existing allotments/food growing spaces, with
insufficient details of replacement food growing space, the Council is not
satisfied that the loss of the existing allotments which provide, visual,
recreational and mental wellbeing value would be sufficiently mitigated against
contrary to Policy G8 of the London Plan and Policy LP21 of the emerging Local
Plan.
3
By reason of the proposed loss of an existing community facility, the lack of
appropriate alternative facilities for existing users of the site and the failure to
demonstrate a clear need for the proposed replacement community facility, the
proposed development would result in the unacceptable loss of an existing
facility of value to the local community, contrary to Policy DMC 2 of the DMPD,
Policy IS 6 of the Core Strategy and Policy LP17 of the Emerging Local Plan.
4
By reason of the proposed change of use which is anticipated to be more noise
intensive for longer periods and inadequate information provided in relation to
proposed noise mitigation measures, it is considered that the proposed
development would have an unacceptable noise impact on neighbouring
residents in significant detriment to neighbour amenity contrary to Policy DMS 1
of the Council¿s Development Management Policies Document and Emerging
Policy LP2.
In dealing with this application the Council has implemented the requirement in
the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive
and proactive manner and the Council has, as far as practicable, sought
solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the planning application.
We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in
the Local Plan consisting of the Core Strategy, Development Management
Policies Document, Supplementary Planning documents and where appropriate
the Site Specific Allocations Document as well as offering a full pre application
advice service. However, we have been unable to seek solutions to problems as
the principle of the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and
negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.
