Councillor Ian Wilkes spoke on this application.

Resolved:     That the application be refused for the following reasons:

(i)            The development represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and there are no very special circumstances that would outweigh the harm caused by virtue of the development’s inappropriateness and associated harm to the openness of the Green

Belt. The development is contrary to Policy S3 of the Local Plan and the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).

(ii)          The proposed development, because of its isolated location away from a higher level of services, employment and public transport links, would mean that residents would be dependent on the use of private motor vehicles. The development of this site would not materially enhance or maintain the viability of a rural community in a significant way and is considered to be an unsustainable form of development. For these reasons the proposed development is contrary to the requirements and guidance of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).

This item includes a supplementary report.
