| No. | Condition Text |
|---|---|
| 1. | The marketing carried out at the land is neither current nor up-to-date and does not appear to have sufficiently looked to target individuals who would want or be able to meet the restriction. The marketing carried out is deemed insufficient and does not provide sufficient evidence that the relevant planning condition should be removed. |
| 2. | The price that the property was marketed was not at least 30% below the open market value and therefore fails to meet the criteria set by Policy HOU10. Isolated houses in the countryside are exceptions noted in Local and National planning policy and are restricted as such. The removal of this condition without correct marketing in appropriate spheres at a price which adequately reflects the agricultural restriction would be contrary to local and national policy. In addition the adopted Core Strategy at CS2 seeks to restrict developments to those which meet a rural need and to remove a dwelling designated as such would be contrary to policy. |
| 3. | 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. |
