Decision details

It was RESOLVED that planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:

The proposed development could result in the creation of a bedroom in the loft space which would require additional parking provision which cannot be adequately provided on-site in accordance with the Council’s adopted standards.  The proposal would, therefore, be likely to result in an increase in on-street parking that would be prejudicial to highway safety and the free flow of traffic and is contrary to Policy IT5 of the Stevenage Borough Local Plan 2011 – 2031 (adopted 2019), the Council’s Car Parking Standards SPD (2012), the National Planning Policy Framework (2019) and the Planning Practice Guidance (2014).
