REASONS FOR DECISION:

The MPT REFUSED the application for the reasons set out below


1. The consolidation of the four properties will result in a building of which the massing, scale and built form will be incompatible with the context.
2. The papers served before the MPT Panel suggested that the application is not compliant with the MSDF, The Southern District Plan and the Densification policy.
3. The proposed parking ratio in this particular context is inappropriate given the fact that there is already a parking problem in this area.
