Date of Decision: October 28, 2025

Purpose:

Content: Resolved that consent be refused for the demolition of existing warehouse building at 25 Wellington Mews and construction of a new two storey + basement dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) with pitched roof and two (2) box dormers, containing two bedrooms. Associated refuse storage, cycle parking, external alterations, private external amenity space, and rooflights on both sides of roof pitch. Six (6) streetlamp posts proposed along southern side of Wellington Mews.   That the grounds for refusal of the proposed development were by reason of – ·        the poor outlook afforded to the ground floor due to its proximity to the adjoining car park and inadequate access along Wellington Mews, it is considered that the proposal would not afford an acceptable quality of accommodation to prospective residents ·        its unsympathetic design would fail to positively respond to local distinctiveness and would cause harm to the character of the application site and the wider surrounding area. ·        a residential use (noise sensitive use), by reason of the proximity to adjoining commercial premises and constrained nature of Wellington Mews and also construction vehicles to access the application site, would cause harm the continued operation of existing commercial premises, creating a conflict between the existing businesses and future occupants.  ·        of the proximity of the proposed lighting columns to adjoining residential occupiers would cause harm to the residential amenity of adjoining owner/occupiers.
