Why it was refused
- The application property is a detached dwelling within the grounds of the former River Gwash Trout Farm located of the eastern edge of the village outside the planned limits of development for Ryhall, in the countryside. The retrospective application seeks planning permission for the construction and external up-lighting of curved stone entrance walls, gate piers and gates either side of the residential vehicular access from Belmesthorpe Lane, and the erection of a 1.9m high closeboarded fence along the northern boundary. It is considered that, by virtue of the design, scale and materials used, the curved stone walls either side of the vehicle access, the external up-lighting of the walls and the erection of a 1.9m high closeboarded fence would not be in keeping with the streetscene and surrounding rural context and would be contrary NPPF (Section 12), Policy CS19 of the Rutland Core Strategy (2011) and Policies SP7, SP15, SP17 and SP23 of the Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document (2014) and Adopted SPD.
From the council's decision notice.
