Why it was refused

  1. The Council considers the change of use of land from agricultural to the storage/parking of motor vehicles with 3500kg maximum gross weight is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and results in detrimental harm to the character, setting and openness of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated to overcome this harm, and any other harm. Accordingly, the application is contrary to Policies CS4 ‘Green Belt’ and SP2 ‘Development in the Green Belt’ as well as Green Belt Guidance 6 of the SPD Development in the Green Belt, and the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
  2. The change of use of land from agricultural to storage of motor vehicles with 3500kg maximum gross weight, materially harms the setting of the Grade II Listed Building known as Barn and Engine House north of Farmhouse and materially harms the character and appearance of the Greasbrough Conservation Area. Without the demonstration of any public benefits to outweigh this harm, the proposal is contrary to Policies CS23 ‘Valuing the Historic Environment’, SP40 ‘Listed Buildings’ and SP41 ‘Conservation Areas’ and advice contained in the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
