Why it was refused
- The proposal would result in the permanent loss of an area of designated public open space that is of value to local residents. The application is therefore in conflict with Policy DM8 of the Site Allocations and Development Management IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THE NOTES AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT 26/00849/FUL Page 1 of 4 REHOUZ Policies Document (2016) and Policy 25 of the Earl Shilton and Barwell Area Action Plan (2014).
- The proposal would result in the visual domestication and permanent enclosure of and area of designated open space that contributes positively to the character and appearance of the area. The proposal would therefore fail to complement or enhance the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area and is contrary to Policy DM10 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016) and Policy DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
From the council's decision notice.
