Why it was refused

  1. - The tourism related development hereby proposed would occupy a site outside any settlement boundary defined in the Local Plan where the absence of any immediate local accessible facilities would necessitate use of private motor vehicles as the predominant mode of transport. Consequently, the proposal would not meet any of the above Local Plan Policy criteria to justify granting permission, nor would it constitute sustainable development as promoted by the National Planning Policy Framework. The proposed development would also introduce new structures on an area of open countryside which would be detrimental to the visual amenities of this locality along with the domestification of its immediate surroundings with its likely associated paraphernalia and lighting installation. The proposed scheme would therefore constitute an unnecessary, unsustainable and visually unacceptable form of development in the countryside without any clear or convincing justification. As such the proposed development would be contrary to Policies SP1, SP8, SP15, SP24 and DP1 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. - The traffic generated by the proposed development would be likely to result in an increase in highway danger owing to the intensification of the use of Hill Lane. The generation of additional traffic and pedestrians by the proposed development would also exacerbate the risk of conflict between vehicles and vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists by reason of the lack of segregated pedestrian facilities and street lighting on comparatively narrow roads subject to the national speed limit, leading to an increase in the likelihood of danger to highway users. The proposed scheme would therefore be contrary to Policies SP1 and SP35 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
