To consider application UTT/19/1463/FUL.

The Planning Officer gave a summary of the report which recommended refusal of the application for demolition of existing dwelling, garage and stables and erection of

replacement dwelling complete with infrastructure and access.

Councillor Storah recommended an additional reason for refusal in that the application was contrary to paragraphs 5 and 12 of the Supplementary Planning Document – Replacement Dwellings.

Councillor Freeman proposed to refuse the application. Councillor Storah seconded this motion.

RESOLVED to refuse the application for the following reason:

The proposal; by virtue of by reason of the introduction of a substantial built form with a character and positioning which would be at odds with that of neighbouring residential development to the southeast; would have a significant adverse effect on the streetscene and character and appearance of the area. As such the proposal would be contrary to Page 2 of 4 Policies S7, GEN2 and H7 of the adopted Uttlesford Local Plan and also Policies TXLSC1, TXLSC2, TXLSC4 and TXHD1 of the made Thaxted Neighbourhood Plan, be contrary to paragraphs 5 and 12 of Supplementary Planning Document – Replacement Dwellings (adopted September 2006) and contrary to the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework to add to the overall quality of an area.
