Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development is located in an area identified as Countryside in the Blaby District Local Plan Policies Map (2019). In such areas, there is a presumption against residential development. The District Planning Authority considers that the residential development of this greenfield site would represent an unwarranted intrusion of urban development beyond the existing well defined edge of settlement and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the landscape and character of the village and thus would be contrary to Policies CS2 and CS18 of the Blaby District Local Plan (Core Strategy) Development Plan Document (2013) and Policy DM2 of the Blaby District Council Local Plan (Delivery) Development Plan Document (2019).

From the council's decision notice.
