Outline planning permission refused.
Minutes:
Registered speakers: Helene Lawson (Objector), Sheila Long (Ward Councillor) and Louise Leyland (Agent).
After careful consideration, it was proposed by Councillor Chris France, seconded by Councillor Martin Boardman and a decision was subsequently taken (12:0:1) that outline planning permission be refused for the following reason:
The proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and therefore harmful by definition. There would also be other moderate visual harm through the urbanising effect of the access road. It is not considered that there are very special circumstances to overcome the definitional harm to the Green Belt and additional harm caused through encroachment. The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework.
