Brackenhirst Farm Condorrat Road Glenmavis North Lanarkshire ML6 0PP

1. 1.The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development within the Green Belt and is insufficiently justified, contrary to National Planning Framework 4 Policy 8 (Green Belt). The proposal does not involve an allocated site for development, the reuse of a redundant or historic building, an intensification of an existing use, or a one for one replacement of a permanent dwelling. It also fails to comply with National Planning Framework 4 Policy 17 (Rural Homes), as it would introduce a new rural dwelling that is not supported by the Local Development Plan. Approval of the proposal would undermine Green Belt objectives and set an undesirable precedent.
2. 2.The proposed development represents inappropriate residential development within the designated Green Belt and is not supported by the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2022. The proposal conflicts with Policy PP4 (Purpose of Place) as it would introduce new residential development that does not align with the aim of protecting the setting of communities and directing growth to urban areas. The proposal is also contrary to Policy AD4 (Amount of Development), as the nature of the development is not considered appropriate for a Green Belt location and insufficient justification has been provided to demonstrate otherwise. Accordingly, the proposal does not accord with the Local Development Plan. Additional Notes to Applicant: PLEASE READ THESE NOTES CAREFULLY. These notes do not constitute legal advice, and are not intended to be a comprehensive guide to laws which may apply to the development which you propose to carry out. If you wish to obtain advice on which you will be entitled to rely, you must consult a solicitor or other appropriate professional adviser, e.g. an architect or chartered surveyor.
