Planning committee

Decided by BCP Western BCP Planning Committee on 5 Feb 2026.

Refused unanimously

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the harm to character and neighbouring amenity was limited and could be controlled by conditions.
  • Objectors raised concerns about loss of light, privacy, overbearing scale, construction disruption and highway safety.
  • The committee voted unanimously to refuse permission, citing harmful character and residential amenity impacts contrary to Policy PP27.
