To consider application UTT/19/2545/FUL – Elsenham.

The Chair returned to the room for the discussion of this item.

The Planning Officer gave a summary of the report which recommended approval of the proposed demolition of existing house and the erection of 3no. 4-bedroom dwellings.

Members expressed concern that the application contravened planning policies GEN 2, GEN 8 and S 3, regarding design, vehicle parking standards and other development limits.

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

                        RESOLVED to refuse the application for the following reasons:

The proposal constitutes overdevelopment of the site, including the provision of contrived car parking, resulting in development out of charcater of the area, contary to Policies S3, GEN2 & GEN 8 of the Uttlesford Local Plan 2005.

Councillor Lees, Mrs Pudwell, Dr G Mott and M McGarr spoke on this item.
