Why it was refused

  1. The site is situated in the open countryside and the proposal would create new residential dwellings in an unsustainable location. No information has been submitted to demonstrate there are any special circumstances to justify new housing in this unsustainable, countryside location. The proposed development would be at odds with the settlement hierarchy and spatial strategy for development as set out in the adopted Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan. The proposal would also conflict with the aims of Policy T1 as the scheme would not encourage a greater use of more sustainable forms of transport as there would be a heavy reliance on journeys by private car to reach facilities and services within nearby settlements. The location of the development is therefore considered unacceptable in principle and the proposal is contrary to Policies S1, S2, S3 and T1 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (2021) and Section 2 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
