Councillors voted to refuse the scheme on the grounds of the scale and siting of the building, as an “excessive form of development”
.
“One of the main themes of the objections relates to the scale design and the siting of this building, and the residents feel that the proposals don’t really reflect the character of the surrounding area. “We’re not disputing that there is an existing problem with indiscriminate parking on street parking, especially at school pick up and drop off times.”Fifty-eight representations were received from properties as well as Wickersley Parish Council and Councillor Collingham over the course of two rounds of consultation, plus a petition with 41 signatures.
A letter from a resident of Goose Lane, read out at he meeting, stated that “We are apprehensive of the impact this proposal will have on the local area, as it is an unaesthetic building with a high occupancy density that gives the impression it’s not a domestic residence, and would not complement the existing buildings in the local area or village.Another resident, speaking at the meeting added: “The development will absolutely aggravate an already dangerous situation for pedestrians.
