Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the amount of residential development proposed, comprising of a minimum of 1 dwelling and a maximum of 5 dwellings, would not respect the existing form of linear development within this part of Hockerton, and would result in development encroaching into the open countryside, resulting in harm to the character and appearance of the area. Furthermore, in terms of location, the site would be accessed directly off the busy A617 which is served by a substandard footway and would not therefore provide future occupiers with a safe pedestrian access to the site. This would result in reliance upon the private car to access basic services and amenities. As such the site is not considered to be within a sustainable location for new housing. Whilst the proposal would result in some benefits, including contributing to the Council's five-year housing land supply and generate some economic benefits, these benefits would be limited, and the adverse impacts of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole. Planning Application: 26/00468/PIP The proposal would therefore be contrary to the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework, Spatial Policy 1 of the Amended Core Strategy and Policy DM8 of the Allocations and Development Management DPD.

From the council's decision notice.
