·         Lance Wiggins – agent on behalf of the applicant.

 

DECISION

 

THAT APPLICATION 22/0464/FUL BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON:

 

The layout and design of the proposal would not enable the District Council’s refuse vehicles to enter the site to collect household waste to fulfil their statutory duties. In addition, the development lacks the ability to provide adequate presentation facilities for waste collection at the boundary with the adoptable highway at the site entrance with New Street. Therefore, it is considered that as the site cannot be adequately serviced for household waste purposes, the scheme has not been designed appropriately to meet the needs of future residents. This constitutes poor design contrary to Policy CS2 and Policy CS10 of the adopted Blaby District Core Strategy (2013), Policy DM1 of the adopted Blaby District Local Plan (Delivery) Development Plan Document (2019) and Policy BNP1 of the Blaby Neighbourhood Plan (2018) and is also contrary to the aims and aspirations of the NPPF which seeks to raise the awareness and quality of design when dealing with development proposals.
