Reasons For Refusal
Application Ref No: 04/00611/B On Review
- The proposed apartments would have a poor living environment by virtue of outlook and light available. Accordingly, this unsatisfactory living environment would not comply with the provisions of Planning Circular 2/88 "Conversion of Buildings into Flats".
- The application fails to suitably address the car parking demands that would arise from the proposed apartments. The three lock-up garages indicated on drawing no. 2700/1, date stamped the 25th March 2004, to be utilised for car parking facilities for the proposed lower ground floor apartments are outside the area defined as being within the control of the applicant on the aforementioned drawing and therefore cannot be considered as part of the planning application.
NOTE With regard to the use of the three lock-up garages it is noted that drawing no. TH/01/37/15, submitted as part of Planning Application 02/01849/B and date stamped the 12th December 2002, indicated that the existing garages do not belong to Eskdale.
NOTE This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.
