It was RESOLVED that Application
23/00920/FPM be REFUSED for the following reason:
 
The removal of the undercroft parking together with the increase in
the number of flats would leave insufficient off-street parking for
the proposed development, which would likely result in increased
on-street parking on roads to the north and west of the site. This
will likely result in a situation which would be prejudicial to the
safety and operation of these roads. The development proposal is
therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023)
and National Planning Practice Guidance, Policies SP6 and IT5 of
the Stevenage Borough Local Plan 2011 - 2031 (adopted 2019) and the
Council's Parking Provision and Sustainable Transport SPD
(2020).
 
As the Committee voted to refuse the
application for the residential development on the land to the West
of Lytton Way, the application to vary the S.106 agreement was also
REFUSED.
