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.

The full documents can be viewed at the following link:- full document from Bromley Council

The appeal will now go forward to the Planning Inspector as detailed in our previous posting of the 24th July. Click the link to see all of that post which also says:-

PROPOSED RE-DEVELOPMENT OF 87-93 OAK TREE GARDENS

For your urgent attention

Dear Resident

IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS TO THE PROPOSED RE-DEVELOPMENT OF
87-93 OAK TREE GARDENS

Amended plans have now been submitted for the following planning application to Bromley
Council for the re-development of the site occupied by Nos 87, 89, 91 and 93 Oak Tree Gardens at the corner with Portland Road:

Redevelopment of land at rear of Nos. 87-93 Oak Tree Gardens to include demolition of No.
91 and retention of No. 89 with minor alterations to roof and Erection of eight 2 1/2 storey, 4
bedroom houses comprising of two terraces of 3 houses, one pair of semi detached houses
and one detached single garage; associated access, parking, landscaping, cycle storage,
refuse and recycling provision.

The amended plans appear to involve:

•  The demolition of the house on the site at No 89 in addition to the house at
  No 91;
•  5 additional car parking spaces;
•  Changes to drainage which require further clarification.

LERA is continuing to oppose the amended application on the following grounds:

• The additional pressures on the drainage and sewerage systems which are alreadystruggling to cope with the existing houses on the Estate, and the increased risks of floodingand potential sewerage backup affecting existing houses; and
• The increased traffic movements on an already busy and potentially dangerous corner.

You can view the amended planning application documents on the Council’s website
using the Search Planning Applications service at www.bromley.gov.uk/planningaccess and searching on Oak Tree Gardens. If you wish to make any comments on the amended application, the plans and other documents submitted with it, please ensure that you do
this by  WEDNESDAY 10 JUNE 2015; otherwise the Council will assume that you have no comments.

Comments (including any comments you made on the original application) can be made
via the Council’s website at www.bromley.gov.uk/planningaccess; or by emailing to planning@bromley.gov.uk or writing to Town Planning, London Borough of Bromley,
Civic Centre, Stockwell Close, Bromley BR1 3UH, quoting the reference DC/14/04443/FULL1.
You will also need to include your name and address which will enable the Council to log and acknowledge your correspondence.
