REFUSED

Description of application – Demolition of existing outbuildings and erection of single storey detached outbuilding for storage, replacement of existing

hardstanding, and erection of fence to enclose residential amenity

space.

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

It was reported that on page 36 of the Assistant Director, (Planning and Building Control) report, paragraph 6.1.8. should be amended to read, ‘Therefore the modest decrease in footprint is noted it is considered that the proposed outbuilding would constitute inappropriate development and that the very special circumstances would not be sufficient to justify the overall impact that the height and roof design would have on the openness and visual amenity of the Green Belt above that which already exists.’

Members referred to the history of the site and the principle that a replacement building that had been accepted at Plans Sub-Committee 3 on September 2020. However, they considered the increase in heightfrom 2.5 metres to 4 metres as shown on the amended plans submitted at validation stage to be inappropriate in the green belt. 

Members having considered the report and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED as recommended, for the reason set out in the report of the Assistant Director, (Planning and Building Control).
