No.Condition Text
1.The majority of the site is located outside of the village development limits for Ormesby and as such the majority is not located within an area designated for residential development. Policy HOU10 of the Borough Wide Local Plan and paragraph 55 of the National Planning Policy Framework seek to prohibit development outside of the defined village development limits or the urban area by providing criteria to be met to allow development under certain circumstances. The applicant has not sought to comply with policy HOU10 of the Borough Wide Local Plan or paragraph 55 and as such the development is contrary policy HOU10 and the National Planning Policy Framework. The proposed over development of a site in a prominent location within an area designated as landscape important to the setting of settlements is contrary to policy NNV5 of the Borough Wide Local Plan as the indicative design does impinge on the physical separation by urbanising an area, although previously development, of open character. In addition the applicant has not sought to demonstrate an essential need for the development and as such it is contrary to policy NNV5 of the Borough Wide Local Plan.
2.The development, although outline does not seek to reflect the character of the area or provide any enhancements to the area by way or design, landscaping or orientation. The lack of design contribution and out of keeping layout signify an over development of the site in a manner that is detrimental to the character of the area. A development of this size in this form is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework paragraphs 56 and 64 and BNV20 of the Borough Wide Local Plan. The number of houses proposed is an over development of a site of this size, location and prominence.
3.The application has not given any indication as to deliverability of the development, nor has a mix or housing sizes and styles been proposed contrary to the Interim Housing Land Supply Policy policies n) and b). The over development of the site providing little or no amenity space is contrary to a) of the Interim Housing Land Supply Policy and the lack of provision of open space both private and potentially communal is contrary to m) of the Interim Housing Land Supply Policy.
4.The development does not adequately demonstrate the method of disposal of foul water or adequately address the heritage implications of the proposed development. In the absence of sufficient information the application is contrary to the Planning Practice Guidance para 020 ID 34-0202-20140306, g) of the Interim Housing Land Supply Policy and 128 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
5.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission, the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
