APPEAL RE-DEVELOPMENT OF 87-93 OAK TREE GARDENS

The meeting of the plans sub-committee of Bromley Council on 30th July resolved to contest the appeal by the developers. The recommendation was as follows:-

 RECOMMENDATION: RESOLVE TO CONTEST APPEAL

Grounds for contesting the Appeal are as follows:

1 The proposal by reason of its layout, bulk and siting in relation to neighbouring residential dwellings constitutes an unsatisfactory and cramped form of backland development, seriously detrimental to the residential amenities which the occupiers of neighbouring properties might reasonable expect to continue to enjoy, thereby contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policies 3.5 and 7.4 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

2 The proposal, by reason of its bulk, layout and siting, would constitute an unsatisfactory form of backland development, out of character with the pattern of development, quality and distinctiveness of the surrounding area, thereby detrimental to the visual amenities of the area and contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policies 3.5 and 7.4 of the London Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
