DM2024/01364

The proposed development, by reason of siting within a subdivided plot, would unduly interrupt the prevailing pattern of development in terms of its urban grain and would also fail to integrate positively into the street scene and would appear cramped within its setting contrary to the character and appearance of the street scene and surrounding area. The development is therefore contrary to Policies 7, 9 and 28 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.

Without evidence to the contrary, the proposed development, by reason of loss of off-street parking to the host dwelling (60 Waverley Avenue), would result in overspill parking onto surrounding roads to the detriment of on-street parking provision within the surrounding roads contrary to Policies 36 and 37 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.

The proposed development, by reason of lack of vehicular entry in and out of the site in forward gear, would introduce unsafe vehicular access arrangements for future occupiers and would result in harm to highway safety for vehicular users and pedestrians contrary to Policies 36 and 37 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.

Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate how the proposed development will meet the sustainable drainage requirements to minimise flood risk contrary to Policy 32 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.

Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate the development can achieve Biodiversity Net Gain contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as inserted by Schedule 14 of the Environment Act 2021) and Policy 26 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018.
