RESOLVED:

The committee refused the application

 

(Moved by Councillor S Goodall and seconded by Councillor D Maycock)

 

Reasons

 

1.         The proposed development by virtue of its scale would appear discordant and disproportionately small and narrow within the street scene and therefore would not be in keeping with the pattern of development in the locality and as a result would be contrary to policy EN5 of the Tamworth Local Plan 2006-2031 and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

 

2.         The development by virtue of its under provision of amenity space and internal floor area would not comply with the Tamworth Design SPD and is therefore contrary to policy EN5 of the Tamworth Local Plan 2006-2031 and NPPF.

 

3.         The application fails to provide sufficient information on providing any biodiversity net gain and therefore it is considered that the proposal would not comply with policy EN4 of the Tamworth Local Plan 2006-2031 and the NPPF paragraph 174d).
