Why it was refused

  1. S73 of the Town and Country Planning Act requires Local Planning Authorities to consider only the matter of conditions in relation to the determination of applications under that section. In this instance the applicant seeks non-compliance with condition 9 of permission 2025/1688/FUL that required the provision of a programme of road widening and footway provision along Stapleford Road in Whissendine, with a plan that does not make such provision. The result of this would be that there would be no pedestrian link between the site and Willow Close along Stapleford Road. The lack of such provision would result in any pedestrians seeking to access the site via the Stapleford Road entrance having to walk along either the verge or the carriageway of Stapleford Road itself, which would result in an unacceptable risk of accident/injury due to the lack of proper footway provision. The alternative route presented in the application is not suitable to act as the sole means of accessing the site on foot. The proposed amendments would dilute the design quality and placemaking benefits of the approved scheme, contrary to the NPPF's emphasis on securing well-designed development and maintaining high standards of design and connectivity. The proposal would therefore be contrary to policy SP15 of the Site Allocations and Policies DPD (2014), Design Guidelines for Rutland, the National Design Guide and policies TR3, TR4 and TR8 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
