RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

Minded to REFUSE planning permission on the grounds of:-

-         an over-intensive development resulting in occupancy levels being harmful to the living conditions of future residents and failing to be sympathetic to the surrounding properties and land uses

-         failure to provide adequate levels of parking provision

-         whilst the application states single occupancy rooms, the bedroom sizes do not dictate this and nor could this be controlled by a condition.

-         The development is in conflict with policies DMG1, DMG3 and DMB3.

To be brought back to a future committee with draft refusal reason(s) based on the above.
