A separate two-storey detached house was also proposed alongside an existing dwelling on the site.

The development also provided for car parking, bicycle storage, bin storage, landscaping and boundary treatments, along with connections to mains sewer services and all associated site works.

Designs for the project were prepared by Marbo Consultants Ltd, with engineering services provided by OBA Consulting Engineers Ltd.

A decision to refuse planning permission was issued on March 18. 

The project had a total floor area of just over 1,500 square metres on a site of approximately 0.55 hectares. It is not yet known whether revised plans will be submitted.
