Why it was refused
- In the interest of preserving the undeveloped character of the countryside from unjustified development; the proposed dwellinghouse in a countryside location where insufficient justification for the re-development of the already naturalising former brownfield site fails to comply with Policies 16, 17 of National Planning Framework 4 (2023) and Policies 1, 2, 7 and 8 of the Adopted FIFEplan - Fife Local Development Plan (2017). Further to that the proposal would be located on the edge of a built 'cluster' and is therefore also an unjustified development which would contribute to the gradual erosion of the undeveloped rural countryside setting and would therefore fail to comply with the cluster criteria contained within Adopted FIFEplan Policy 8.
