Tydd St Giles Golf And Leisure Centre Kirkgate Tydd St Giles Wisbech Cambridgeshire PE13 5NZ

1. 1.Tydd St Giles comprises circa 430 residential dwellings and is served by limited facilities and services (including limited public transport services). The proposed development is located within a 'Small Village' (as classified within the Fenland Settlement Hierarchy); and it is not located within a specific or broad location for growth identified within the Local Plan, or on the edge of a Market Town. The proposed development is for a further 48No. leisure homes (a 32% increase to the existing number of permitted leisure homes) which, cumulatively with Planning Decision Notice F/YR22/0368/F Town and Country Planning Act 1990 previous planning permissions, would result in a total of 196No. leisure homes being permitted within the overall Tydd St Giles Golf and Leisure Centre complex. The proposed development, cumulatively with the existing permitted tourist accommodation within the Tydd St Giles Golf and Leisure Centre complex, would result in a disproportionately large scale of tourist accommodation in comparison to the size and population of the village. In addition, the proposed development would be served by poor availability and accessibility of public transport services. The proposed development therefore fails to fit with the Council's spatial strategy for 'Small Villages' in terms of location, distribution and scale, and it would result in an unsustainable development, contrary to policies LP3 and LP6 of the Fenland Local Plan 2014.
2. 2.The proposed development would have adverse visual effects on the immediate site surroundings, particularly along parts of the north and west boundaries of the site when viewed from Eaudyke Bank. These impacts result from the close proximity of the quantum and proximity of the proposed lodges to the Eaudyke Bank, in addition to the lack of a sufficient landscape buffer. By virtue of the siting and quantum of the proposed holiday lodges, the proposed development would result in tourist accommodation development of a scale and in a location which fails to make a positive contribution to the local distinctiveness and character of the area, enhance its local setting, respond to and improve the character of the local built environment, reinforce local identity and preserve the landscape character of the surrounding area, contrary to policy LP16 of the Fenland Local Plan 2014.
