| 1. | The application site is located outside the village development limits and with the lack of safe pedestrian access to local occupiers it is considered that there would be a reliance on the private car for future occupants of the proposed development. As such it would be contrary to core policy CS1 (e) from the adopted Core Strategy, which seeks to ensure that new developments provide easy access for
everyone to jobs, shops and community facilities by walking, cycling and public transport. Furthermore, it is considered that the application would not comply with core policy CS02 from the adopted Core Strategy which seeks to balance the delivery of new homes with the creation of self-contained communities and reducing the need to travel. |
| 2. | The development would erode the open and verdant character of the area which is defined by gaps between dwellings which adds to the countryside character to the east and north of the main built up area of the village. Therefore, it is considered that the application is contrary to core policy CS1 (a) from the adopted Core Strategy which seeks to ensure that development is in a location that complements the character and supports the function of individual settlements. |
| 3. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): 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. |
