Decision Level/Committee: Proposed to be Delegated
Conditions / Reason for Refusal: 01 The proposed scheme if implemented will result in vehicles reversing back into Church Lane in close proximity to its junction with Station Road to the detriment of both road and pedestrian safety. 02 The proposed residential development on the Multi Use Games Area would be harmful to the amenity of the future occupiers of the residential conversion scheme (RB2020/0414), by virtue of a reduction in on site shared amenity space and for future residents of the proposed flats. As such the proposal would be contrary to The South Yorkshire Residential Design Guide, Local Plan Policy SP55 ‘Design Principles’ and the NPPF. 03 The applicant has failed to provide information that demonstrates no net loss of biodiversity at the site before and after development has taken place. As such, the proposal is contrary to the requirements of Local Plan Policy SP33 ‘Conserving and Enhancing the Natural Environment.’ POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT Whilst the applicant entered into discussions with the Local Planning Authority these identified that it is not possible to support a scheme of this nature nor would any amendments make it acceptable. The application was submitted on the basis of these discussions and it was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework resulting in this refusal.
