(In reaching its decision, the Committee took into consideration the Planning Officer’s report (previously circulated), four letters of objection received, one letter of representation received, and the views of two objectors, whom the Committee heard).

RESOLVED – That Planning Permission be refused for the following reasons:

(a)    The development by way of its design and use of materials would adversely affect the existing character of the street contrary to Policy CS2 of the Darlington Core Strategy Development Plan Document, 2011.

(b)   The development would have an adverse impact on the amenity currently enjoyed by the adjacent and adjoining properties by reason of loss of light and outlook.
