In respect of plan no. DC070561 for the demolition of existing dwelling; new residential housing development comprising 4no. dwellings and 1no. detached garage, accessed via shared private driveway with associated landscaping and external works at 6 Kings Close, Bramhall,

a member of the public spoke against the application; and

a representative of the applicant spoke in support of the application.

It was then

RESOVLED – (8 for) That planning permission be refused on the grounds that the proposed development did not maintain satisfactory levels of privacy and amenity for existing residents by virtue of:-

(i)         a failure to meet privacy distances as set out in the Council’s SPD Design of Residential Development in respect of the distance from the ground and first floor side elevations of plots 3 and 4 to the boundary; and the distance of the roof lights serving the accommodation of plots 3 and 4 from the site boundary; and

(ii)        its scale, bulk, massing and density such that it would constitute an overdevelopment of the site.
