About this application
This is a planning application at Astley Grange Farm Back Lane East Langton Leicestershire LE16 7TB. Harborough has handled 7,393 applications of this type. This one was decided in 38 days, 3 weeks quicker than Harborough's typical decision time. There have been 4 other applications at this address. We hold 3,440 applications in total for the LE16 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of location, residential use and amount would undermine the strategic objectives of the development plan and would conflict with the sustainable development principles and plan-led approach endorsed by the Framework. The proposed development would therefore conflict with Harborough Local Plan Policies GD2 and GD4 and East Langton Neighbourhood Plan Policy H2 and the Framework. The harm identified is not outweighed by material considerations including the contributions towards housing supply. The tilted balance is not engaged because the adverse impacts identified are judged to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal.
From the council's decision notice.
