REFUSED

Description of application – Removal of redundant equine building situated adjacent to the southern site boundary and the stationing of a log cabin for residential use (in alternative siting).

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.

The Planning Officer reported the following:-

·  The application had been amended by documents received on 23 October 2018.

·  A statement had been received from the applicant in regard to the proposal being a profitable enterprise.

·  Condition 4 relating to occupation of the cabin should be expanded to include the applicant and her partner/spouse.

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

1  The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, causing harm to its openness and character such that is not clearly outweighed by any benefits of the development and therefore very special circumstances do not exist which would outweigh the harm by inappropriateness of the development and the proposal would as a consequence be contrary to Policy G1 of the Unitary Development Plan, Policy 49 of the draft Local Plan, Policy 7.16 of the London Plan and Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
