2 Dawgates Lane Pleasley Nottinghamshire NG19 7QD

1. 1.The proposed development would result in the demolition of the existing barn and its replacement with a dwelling of substantially greater scale, massing, volume and visual presence. The proposal would not comprise one of the forms of development supported within the countryside by Policy S3 of the Mansfield District Local Plan 2013-2033 and would fail to be satisfactorily integrated into its rural surroundings. The site lies within Landscape Policy Zone ML23 Skegby Upland Plateau where the Mansfield Landscape Character Assessment identifies an overall landscape strategy of conservation. The area is characterised by its open agricultural landscape, scattered farmsteads and limited built development. The proposed dwelling, by reason of its increased footprint, greater massing, repositioning within the site and associated domestic features, including extensive areas of hardstanding, courtyard space and residential curtilage, would introduce a more visually prominent and domesticated form of development that would erode the agricultural character of the site and fail to conserve the prevailing landscape character of the area conflicting with policies S3 and NE1 of the Mansfield District Local Plan 2013-2033. The development would therefore appear as an incongruous form of development within the open countryside and there are insufficient benefits to outweigh this harm. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies S2, S3 and NE1 of the Mansfield District Local Plan 2013-2033 and the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026.
