It is considered that the siting of the proposed house close to 26 and almost directly onto to the footway which runs along Poultney Drive would be out of keeping with the scale and pattern of development in the area and that it would result in a cramped form of development. The prominent corner location and contrasting modern design would serve to emphasise this and would be visually harmful to the character of the area. This would be contrary to saved policies H/16 and EV/1 of the Local Plan and the advice given in the National Planning Policy Framework particularly in paragraph 53.
