REASON FOR REFUSAL

1.   Any contributions made to the economy of the high road would be modest and would not   outweigh the significant harm that would be caused to the living conditions of adjoining occupiers in priory road, in terms of noise and general disturbance, should any use of rear garden of the site by customers be allowed, contrary to polices CP7 and DBE9 of the adopted Local Plan 1998 & 2006, policy DM9 of the Local Plan Submission Version 2017, and Paragraph 127 (f) of the NPPF 2019.

Way Forward – Committee Members determined that there was no way forward in obtaining consent to use the rear garden of the site for customers.

To consider the attached report for a proposed ground floor rear infill extension with alterations to terrace, new roof form with rear dormer and front rooflights (Amended scheme to EPF/2622/18).
