About this application

This is a planning application at Land Northwest Of Manor Farm Driffield Gloucestershire. Cotswold has handled 10,012 applications of this type. This one was decided in 45 days, 3 days longer than Cotswold's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dwelling would constitute an isolated home in the countryside, outside a settlement or group of houses. None of the circumstances identified in Policy HO11 of the National Planning Policy Framework has been demonstrated to apply. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy HO11 and Policy S5(3) of the National Planning Policy Framework, which provides that isolated homes should not be approved other than in accordance with Policy HO11.
  2. There is insufficient information to inform an Appropriate Assessment with regards to North Meadow SAC in accordance with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and demonstrate that any adverse effects to the SAC can be mitigated.

From the council's decision notice.
