APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 105540/HHA/21 - 95 DERWENT ROAD, FLIXTON

Minutes:

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the erection of a garden room at the rear of the garden (Part Retrospective).

 

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:-

 

(1)           The proposed development, by reason of its scale, height, siting, design and materials, would be out of keeping with its residential setting and would have a detrimental impact on the visual appearance and character of the surrounding area. As such, the proposed development would be contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

(2)           The proposed development, by reason of its scale, height, siting, design and materials, would appear overbearing and visually intrusive when viewed from the gardens of neighbouring properties at 16 and 18 Aldermere Crescent and 93 and 97 Derwent Road, and would therefore have a detrimental impact on the amenity that the occupiers of these dwellings could reasonably expect to enjoy. As such, the proposed development would be contrary to Policy L7 of the Trafford Core Strategy and guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.
