21/00354/FP Land To The Rear Of 23, Conquest Close, Hitchin, Hertfordshire

Decision Maker: Planning Control Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

RESOLVED: That application 21/00354/FP be REFUSED planning permission for the following reason:

 

The proposal by reason of the design, and siting of the dwellings and ancillary development on this cramped and poorly accessed site would be harmful to the character and appearance of the locality. Moreover, the inadequate access arrangements do not appear to enable the safe access of delivery, service and emergency vehicle to the site, to the detriment of highway safety and amenity. The proposal therefore fails to accord with Policy 57 of the North Hertfordshire District Local Plan and Policy SP1, SP3, D1 and D3 of the North Hertfordshire Emerging Local Plan (2011-2031) and Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
