It should be noted that until recently the applicant was seeking to negotiate an acceptable scheme. 1. SUMMARY Members may recall a similar application for the same site was presented to the North Planning Committee on 3rd March 2016 (APP. No. 363/APP/2015/3827). On that occasion Members resolved that, had an appeal for non determination not of been lodged, the application would have been refused as the proposed building was considered an overdevelopment of the site and would have resulted in the loss of open space. That application was also considered to have a detrimental impact on the settin g of nearb y North Planning Committee - PART 1 - MEMBERS, PUBLIC & PRESS Page 1 Grade II listed buildings and on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. It was also considered to have a detrimental impact on the residential amenities of the neighbouring property, Walsh Lodge. Members and officers also had concerns that the basement proposed as part of that scheme could result in additional surface water run-of f and an increased risk of localised flooding. The appeal was dismissed. This current application is for a similar scheme, with the main changes being that the irregular triangular shaped building previously proposed has been squared-off at the corners and the building has generally been set back further from Walsh Lodge, which has moved it closer to the Deane Croft Road and north western boundaries.
