07 APPROVAL CONDITION – Refuse Management Plan
Prior to first occupation of the dwelling as a C4 HMO a refuse management plan shall be submitted to and agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority to ensure that all bins are stored at all times within the refuse store shown on the approved plans with the exception of purposes of collection on collection day.
REASON In the interests of the visual amenities and character of the area.
RESOLVED to refuse planning permission for the reasons set out below.
1 Poor Living Environment
The proposed layout of the HMO and in particular the restricted outlook from side facing habitable room windows is not considered to provide a living environment suitable for occupation as a HMO contrary to Policy SDP1 (i) of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review 2006 and Paragraph 2.2.1 of the Councils adopted Residential Design Guide SPD 2006.
2 Insufficient parking and increased highway congestion
The proposed development is considered to provide an inadequate amount of on-site parking to accommodate an HMO within an area of low accessibility, having regard to the existing take up of on-street parking within the narrow street. Taken with the likely amount of car ownership and traffic generated by the development, it is considered that any car parking overspill from the development would impact negatively on the amenities of those living within Sir Georges Road and surroundings and would lead to increased obstruction of the carriageway, footway and off road parking spaces. The development is thereby contrary to ‘saved’ policies SDP1 and SDP7 of the adopted City of Southampton Local Plan Review (March 2006) and Policies CS13 and CS19 of the adopted Local Development Framework Core Strategy (January 2010) as supported by the adopted Parking Standards SPD in that it would be harmful to the amenity of residents. |
