An application that sought full permission to erect a total of eight houses next to a busy road has been rejected due to “overdevelopment”.
The proposal included eight residential properties – two detached dwellings and six semi-detached houses – alongside Barnsley Road, only a couple of miles from Wath town centre.
A total of one letter of objection was submitted.
However, officers in a supporting document stated that “the proposal is considered to represent overdevelopment with a poor quality layout which fails to create a high quality development and strong sense of the place”.
They added the development was “at odds” with the character of the area.
The application, therefore, was recommended for refusal.
