Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The proposed development would provide substandard internal accommodation for future occupiers of the flats contrary to the requirements of the NPPF, Policy L1 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy, Policy DLP14 of the emerging Dudley Local Plan, the Council's Residential Design SPD & Technical Housing Standards (DCLG 2015). Refusal Statement Informative The Local Planning Authority is aware of the requirement of paragraph 39 of the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive, proactive and creative manner, seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to dealing with the application. In this case, after careful balanced consideration the LPA/Officers considers that there are insurmountable technical issues relating to occupier amenity and the wider area that have not been satisfactorily resolved to demonstrate that the scheme would result in the creation of a sustainable form of development and thereby failing to improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area.
