REFUSED

Description of application - Single storey detached building to provide changing rooms 2 all weather 5 a side football pitches with 6 floodlights (8.3m high) and 3.1m high timber/ mesh fencing around perimeter.

  Oral representations in support of the application were received at the 

meeting.  It was reported that Environmental Health had no objection to the application.

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

1.  The proposal is inappropriate development detrimental to the openness and visual amenities of Metropolitan Open Land and the Council sees no very special circumstances which might justify the grant of planning permission as an exception to Policy G2 of the Unitary Development Plan. 

2.  The proposal will result in harm to the amenities of occupants of nearby residential dwellings by reason of light pollution and increased noise and disturbance contrary to Policies BE1 and ER10 of the Unitary Development Plan.
