1. 1.By reason of the siting of the proposed development within the designated greenbelt, the proposed development is not considered to be sited within a sustainable location. As such, it considered to be contrary to National Planning Framework 4 Policy 8 - Green Belts' which seeks to ensure that development is directed to the right locations, urban density is increased and unsustainable growth is prevented. By reason of its green belt setting, the proposals are also contrary to East Dunbartonshire Council Local Development Plan 2 (2022) Policy 1 - The East Dunbartonshire Development Strategy which notes that "there will be general a presumption against development within the green belt as defined on the Proposals Map".
2. 2.By reason that the proposed development seeks the conversion of an existing building within the greenbelt which is not considered to be a building of architectural or historic merit. It is therefore contrary to both NPF4 Policy 8 'Green Belts' and East Dunbartonshire Council Local Development Plan 2 (2022) both of which seek to direct development to sustainable locations and contain a presumption against development in the designated green belt. The proposed development does not involve the conversion of a building of architectural merit and therefore does not benefit from the policy provisions of NPF4 Policy 8 or LDP2 Policy 1 which allow an exception to the presumption of development within the green belt where the proposals involve the conversion or reuse of a building of architectural or historic value.
