Cllr Geoff Lumley, Local
Member. Spoke on this item. |
Decision: |
The
application was refused contrary to officer recommendation as members
believed there was insufficient parking provision and the proposed
development was likely to attract standing vehicles on the highway. In
compliance with the Council’s Constitution a named vote was taken as the
decision was contrary to officer recommendation. The
voting was as follows : For (10) Cllrs
Ivan Bulwer, William Burt, Charles Chapman, Mike Cunningham, Barbara
Foster, Muriel Miller, Brian Mosdell, Lady Pigot, Susan Scoccia,
Julian Whittaker Against (1) Arthur Taylor |
Reasons: |
1. The proposal provides insufficient parking
provision and is therefore inconsistent with the guidelines set out by the
Local Planning Authority. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy TR16
(Parking Policies and Guidelines) of the Isle of Wight Unitary Development
Plan. 2. The proposed
development would be likely to attract standing vehicles on the highway which
would interrupt the free flow of traffic and thereby add to the hazards of
road users at this point and would therefore be contrary to Policy TR7
(Highway Considerations for New Development) of the Isle of Wight Unitary
Development Plan. (Item 8) |

Comment: |
Cllr Margaret Webster,
the Local Member, spoke on this item. |
Decision: |
The
application was refused contrary to officer recommendation as members
believed it would be overdevelopment of the site and the proposed parking
provision at the back of the properties. In
compliance with the Council’s Constitution a named vote was taken as the
decision was contrary to officer recommendation. The
voting was as follows : For (4)
Cllrs Ivan Bulwer, Muriel Miller, Brian Mosdell, Susan Scoccia Against (2) Mike Cunningham, Arthur Taylor Abstention (2) Charles Chapman, Lady Pigot |
Reasons: |
1. The proposal would represent an overdevelopment
of this site at an excessive density, which in turn would create conditions
likely to give rise to loss of outlook and be of an overbearing nature to the
detriment of the occupants of neighbouring property at no. 47 Cambridge Road,
as well as being out of character with the prevailing pattern of development
in the surrounding area and is contrary to Policy S6 (To be of a High
Standard of Design) and Policy D1 (Standards of Design) of the Isle of Wight
Unitary Development Plan. 2. The proposal by reason of its position, overall
height and proportions, would be an intrusive development, out of scale and
character with the prevailing pattern of development in the locality and does
not represent an appropriate infill development and would therefore be
detrimental to the visual amenities of the surrounding area and be contrary
to Policy S6 (To be of a High Standard of Design), Policy D1 ( Standards of
Design) and Policy H5 (Infill Development) of the Isle of Wight Unitary
Development Plan. 3. The rear section of the proposed building
comprising flat 1, by reason of its excessive depth, height and position
close to the northern boundary of the site would be an intrusive and
unneighbourly addition, out of scale and character with this and surrounding
dwellings as well as having a serious and adverse effect on the amenities
enjoyed by occupants of the neighbouring property causing loss of light and
outlook as well as being overbearing and would be contrary to Policy S6 (Be
of a High Standard of Design) and Policy D1 (Standards of Design) of the Isle
of Wight Unitary Development Plan. 4. The proposed parking, by reason of its position
at the back of the properties and in close proximity to the northern boundary
would result in an unacceptable degree of disturbance to the detriment of the
amenities currently enjoyed by the adjoining property occupiers. Accordingly,
the proposal is considered contrary to Policy D1 (Standards of Design) of the
Isle of Wight Unitary Development Plan. (Item 11) |
