APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 102313/FUL/20 - GULMARG, GARDEN LANE, ALTRINCHAM

Minutes:

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the erection of a replacement two storey dwelling to include new replacement boundary walls and landscaping following the demolition of the existing dwelling.

 

It was moved and seconded that planning permission be refused.

 

The motion was put to the vote and declared carried.

 

                   RESOLVED:   That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:-

 

                   The proposed development, by reason of its siting, height and massing in conjunction with the elevated position of the site, would appear overbearing and visually intrusive to the neighbouring properties on Springfield Road and would unduly overshadow and result in a loss of evening sunlight to these properties. The development would therefore have a detrimental impact on the residential amenity that the occupiers of these dwellings could reasonably expect to enjoy.  As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and the National Planning Policy Framework.
