REFUSED

Description of application - Change of use of land from equestrian centre to residential and erection of 2 pairs of two storey two bedroom houses with associated car parking.

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.  It was reported that the Fire Access and Building Inspector was satisfied there was adequate fire appliance access.

Cllr Simon Fawthrop said that in his opinion the site was not developable in principle, as it would affect the residential amenity.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED as recommended, for the following reason:-

1.  The proposal would, by reason of its design and excessive bulk and scale, result in an overdevelopment of the site, detrimental to the visual amenities, spatial standards and character of the area, contrary to Policies BE1 and H7 of the Unitary Development Plan.
