The applicant's agent addressed the committee, and the ward councillor spoke against the application.
Why the committee refused it
Members found the accommodation standard poor and the development would adversely affect car parking and the amenity of nearby residents.
“In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposal would create, by virtue of the poor standard of residential accommodation, the adverse impact on car parking in the local area and the adverse impact on the residential amenities enjoyed by nearby residents, an unacceptable form of development in this location.”
