About this application
This is a planning application at Land On The North Side Of Oakham Road Greetham Rutland. Rutland has handled 4,003 applications of this type. This one was decided in 35 days, 2 weeks quicker than Rutland's typical decision time. The site is in the Greetham conservation area, with 4 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 58 applications across Greetham Ward.
Why it was refused
- The site occupies a constrained rear location of woodland, outside the defined Planned Limits of Development and is physically separated from the public highway, relying upon access through a constrained and densely treed land that is subject to a Tree Preservation Order. When considered alongside the site's topography, the presence of existing trees and the Restocking and Enforcement Notices issued by the Forestry Commission, the site makes an important contribution to the landscape structure and character of the area. The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the site is capable of accommodating four dwellings and the associated access and servicing requirements without unacceptable harm. The proposal therefore represents an unsuitable and unsustainable location for residential development, contrary to Policies CS4 and SP5 of the Rutland Local Plan and the spatial strategy of the development plan, and Policies S4, S5, HO11, DE3 and N3 of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
