To consider the above planning application.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to the above application.
It was noted that under ‘Other Material Considerations’ on page 28 of the report, reference should have been made to PPG2: Green Belts and PPS5: Planning for the Historic Environment.
(Mrs Campbell, an objector and Mr Kershaw, representing the applicant attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reasons:-
The proposed replacement dwelling would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The development would cause additional harm in terms of harm to openness and character of Green Belt; and by virtue of the design being of insufficient quality to replace the existing heritage asset. The proposed fallback position of implementing extensions to the dwelling is not considered sufficient to clearly outweigh the identified harm and does not amount to a very special circumstance to justify permitting the development.
(This decision was against the Officers recommendation of approval).
