Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC) has refused planning permission for the ‘Demolition of existing building supplies warehouse and construction of 103 residential units with associated parking and landscaping at 64 - 66 And 70 Simpson Road Bletchley MK1 1BA’ (Application no: 21/03766/FUL).
MKCC gave several reasons which led to their decision to refuse the planning application which we have summarised below:
- the potential harm caused to nearby designated heritage assets
- an absence of recommended additional assessments on the impact on biodiversity
- an unacceptable level of overlooking and loss of privacy to occupiers of an existing dwelling
- a completed Section 106 obligation had not been provided to mitigate against the impact of the development
- loss of existing trees and landscaping and the lack of space to provide meaningful replacement soft landscaping
