Why it was refused

  1. The proposal represents new development in the designated open countryside that would result in significant permanent harm to the character of the site, the settlement form and character of the village; and the intrinsic value, beauty, open character, and landscape character of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore contrary to, and in conflict with, Policies DM4 and DM10 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016), Paragraphs 129 and 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024). This harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the potential benefits of the scheme when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
  2. The Applicant has not entered into a Section 106 Agreement that secures the provision of planning obligations for the delivery of affordable housing and public open space, and planning contributions towards highways, health, education, waste services and libraries and other infrastructure provision. As such, the application fails to make the necessary, fair, and reasonable contributions towards the provision and maintenance of necessary infrastructure to mitigate the impact of the development on community services and facilities. Therefore, the application is contrary to, and in conflict with Policy IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THE NOTES AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT 24/01061/OUT Page 1 of 3 REOUTZ DM3 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016), and Policy 19 of the adopted Core Strategy (2009).

From the council's decision notice.
