Planning Decision
Why it was refused
- The proposal would result in the loss of a community facility and in the absence of robust marketing and viability evidence, and on the basis that no alternative provision is being provided, it is considered that the loss is unjustified and therefore conflicts with policy INF 2 of the Northumberland Local Plan and policy HC6 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- In the absence of a completed planning obligation securing a financial contribution to the Council's Coastal Mitigation Service or any other satisfactory alternative mitigation the proposed development will have an adverse effect on the integrity of the Northumbria Coast SPA and therefore approval of this application would be contrary to Regulation 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. Similarly, it will have an adverse effect on the interest features of the Northumberland Shore SSSI and therefore approval of the application would be inconsistent with the Local Planning Authority's duties under S.28G of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as amended. The application therefore conflicts with policies ENV 2 and INF 6 of the Northumberland Local Plan and policies N2 and DM6 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
