- any appeal has been completed.

Note 2: Rights of appeal against the decision of the planning committee are attached.

Note 3: An appeal June be requested within a period of 21 days.

## Reasons For Refusal

### Application Ref No: 04/00224/B On Review

1. The proposed dwellings, by reason of their height, scale and site coverage, would impact adversely on the occupiers of the dwellings to the rear, to the detriment of residential amenity.
2. The provision for the parking of one vehicle on site, which would result in vehicles reversing onto or off the highway would be contrary to the provisions of highway safety and below a level of parking provision to serve new residential properties.

NOTE This decision is without prejudice to the submission of a further application for residential development on the site, such an application to follow consultation with the Planning Officer for the area to discuss the number of dwellings proposed, built mass and form and parking arrangements.

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.
