1. 1.In the view of the Local Planning Authority the proposal would represent an inappropriate and unsustainable form of 'new build' development in the open countryside which would not support local infrastructure, which would not constitute 'infill' or 'rounding off', which would not be of outstanding or innovative design and for which there is currently no demonstrated over-riding need. The proposal would therefore fail to fully satisfy the requirements of Policies 1, 11, 13 and 29 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (adopted 2016), Policy 18 of the Part 2 Local Plan for Corby (adopted September 2021).
2. 2.In the view of the Local Planning Authority the removal of part of the stone boundary wall in order to create the vehicular access to the development, and the lowering of a further portion for visibility purposes, would unduly harm the setting of the Conservation Area in which the wall is located. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to the provisions of Policies 2 and 8 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (adopted 2016).
3. 3.In the view of the Local Planning Authority the proposal currently makes inadequate provision for the 'on-site' turning of cars and for allowing those cars safe access to the adjoining highway (Church Lane) . It is considered therefore that the development would lead to hazardous vehicular movements (including reversing) onto and/or off that highway, in close proximity to nearby road junction in particular the busy A427 road. This would not be in the best interests of highway safety in the area. The development is therefore considered to be contrary to the provisions of Policy 8 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (2016) which seeks to ensure safe and pleasant streets. STANDARD INFORMATIVE The decision to REFUSE planning permission has been taken having regard to all relevant planning legislation, regulations, guidance, circulars and Council policies, including The Human Rights Act (1998) (HRA 1998) which makes it unlawful for the Council to act incompatibly with Convention rights, specifically Article 6 (right to a fair hearing); Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life); Article 1 of the First Protocol (protection of property) and Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination).
