1)
The proposed properties, by virtue of their small size, siting, poor outlook and deficient access to daylight/sunlight, would be substandard forms of residential accommodation that would fail to ensure good living conditions for the occupants of the units, contrary to policy CL5 of the Consolidated Local Plan.
2)
When viewed from the garden of number 12 Coleherne Road, and the garden, lower ground & ground floor of number 10 Coleherne Road, the proposed building would have an overbearing appearance by virtue of its excessive height and close proximity to these properties. This would result in an undue sense of enclosure that would be contrary to Consolidated Local Plan policy CL5.
3)
The proposed buildings, by reason of their excessive height, massing and bulk in the context of the site, would create discordant and incongruous bookends that would detract from the host terrace and would compete with the more opulent and attractive buildings they would adjoin. Consequently, the proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the terrace and wider conservation area, contrary to policies CL1, CL2, CL3, and CL11 of the Consolidated Local Plan.
4)
The applicant has failed to agree to enter into a legal agreement to secure the proposed residential accommodation to be resident's parking permit free. In the absence of such an agreement, the proposal would result in an increase in on-street parking in the Borough, contrary to Policy CT1 of the Consolidated Local Plan, and the guidance contained within the Council's adopted Transport and Streets Supplementary Planning Document.
