Why it was refused

  1. The proposal fails to comprise a form of sustainable development and represents a form of inappropriate development outside a defined settlement boundary within the green belt and would conflict with the approach to the location of development that seeks to focus housing to the most sustainable locations that minimises the need to travel, reduce commuting and the reliance upon the private motor car, avoid suburbanisation and promote local living. The proposal would in turn materially harm the quality and purpose of the green belt contrary to policies 1, 10 and 12 to the East Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan 2; together with policies 1, 14, 17 and 29 of National Planning Framework 4.
  2. The proposed grouping of houses having regard to their siting, design, form, scale, mass, and curtilage would materially harm the character and landscape quality of the green belt contrary to policies 1 and 12 to East Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan 2; together with policies 8, 14, 17 and 29 of National Planning Framework 4.
