Planning committee

Decided by Waverley Planning Committee on 25 Mar 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers recommended approval because they considered the design, access, ecology and housing benefits acceptable subject to a legal agreement and conditions.
  • Objectors raised concerns about overdevelopment, traffic, parking, character, ecology, drainage and neighbouring living conditions; supporters welcomed housing and site improvements.
  • The committee voted 8–2, with one abstention, to refuse permission because of overdevelopment, inadequate mitigation and unsafe access arrangements without an agreement.
