A developer has been refused permission to build two new houses next to his home in Telford.
Needham Atwal wanted to construct the homes on land adjacent to where he lives in Hartshill Avenue, Oakengates.Each plot would also have had a separate rear garden with timber panel fencing and would include a paved access to each house with a side gate, and paved access drive from the back edge of the pavement. The driveway would have been on a shared ownership basis for the development.
“Furthermore, as a result of the narrow frontage of the plot and the contrived positioning of the proposed pair of dwellings, the proposed pair of dwellings would poorly relate to the existing pattern of development and is considered an overdevelopment of the plot,” said planning officer Tom Carruthers.
“The proposed development fails to incorporate adequate facilities to enable vehicles to turn on the site and therefore enter and leave in a forward gear, in the interest of road safety,” said Mr Curruthers.
