Why it was refused

  1. The proposed business use of the cabin at the application site is considered to result in an over intensive and harmful use of the site. The increased comings and goings to the property which would arise as a result of the proposal would adversely affect the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, through increased noise and disturbance. The proposal is therefore contrary to the provisions of Local Plan policy CLP14, as well as part 12 of the NPPF. Statement of Positive and Pro-active Working with Applicant In accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2015 and paragraph 39 of the 2024 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) as the proposed development conflicts with the NPPF or with 'up-to-date' policies of the Local Plan, it is not considered to be 'sustainable development' to which the presumption in favour of the development applies. The Local Planning Authority considered the merits of the submitted application and judged that there was no prospect of resolving the fundamental planning problems with it through further negotiation, despite attempts to resolve the issues relating to residential amenity. On this basis, it is considered appropriate for the Local Planning Authority to issue a decision on the application and allow the applicant to exercise their right to appeal.

From the council's decision notice.
