Further to the Development Management Committee held on 10 October 2016 where the above application was considered, the Team Leader for Development Management sought the Committee’s views on the reasons for refusal.

Resolved:

That the decision in respect of the above application be amended as follows:

‘That the application be refused on the grounds that by reason of the scale, bulk and design of the building, the proposed development would constitute overdevelopment of the site and would result in a form of development that would be out of keeping with the established character of the area and have a negative impact on the adjoining Babbacombe Downs Conservation Area.’
