Yew Tree Morton Oswestry Shropshire SY10 8AH

1. 1.The application site would not be suitable for residential development having regard to the location and land use. The application site is located in open countryside, outside any settlement as defined in the local plan and is contrary to the key relevant Development Plan Policies CS5 and MD7a. The proposed development does not represent one of the forms of development which should be approved outside settlements in accordance with National Planning Policy Framework Policy S5 and no exceptional circumstances for the development have been demonstrated. The benefits of the proposal are substantially outweighed by the adverse effects of the development which include the impact on the character of the countryside and the unsustainable location of the site and therefore, the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply. The proposed development conflicts with Core Strategy Policies CS1, CS5, CS6, and CS17; SAMDev Policies MD1, MD2, MD7a and MD12 and the relevant provisions of the NPPF and on balance of all material considerations the application is refused.
