It is the opinion of the local planning authority that by reason of its design, layout and form the proposed development would result in an over-development of the site, resulting in a cramped and unsuitable form of residential accommodation for future occupiers. The development would provide an unacceptable and unsuitable level of residential amenity to future occupiers, especially flat 5 . The development would be at odds with the character of the street and surrounding properties due to the high number of residential units contained within the plot. The provision of only 3 off street parking spaces to service 5 residential units is also considered to re-enforce the cramped nature of the development and would result in an increase in on street parking which would further add to its incongruity in the street and would exacerbate existing parking issues within the vicinity of the site. Accordingly on balance it is considered the proposal fails to comply with policies CS2, EV/1, H/17 and TR/18 of the adopted Development Plan and the advice contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
