Proposed Residential Conversion Of Outbuildings At Betton Lodge To Holiday Let 3 Oakley Lane Betton Shropshire

1. 1.The proposed development does not represent sustainable rural tourism by virtue of its location outside of and not close to a settlement, where visitors would be reliant on private car usage to access essential services and facilities. The proposal is not connected to an existing tourism enterprise. Therefore, the proposed development is contrary to Core Strategy Policies CS5, CS16; SAMDev Policies MD7a, MD7b, MD11 and the NPPF (2026).
2. 2.The proposed development will have an adverse effect on the visual appearance and character of the landscape contrary to Core Strategy Policies CS6, CS16, CS17 and SAMDev Policy MD2.
3. 3.The proposed development does not represent one of the forms of development which should be approved outside settlements, no exceptional circumstances for the development have been provided and the benefits of the proposal are substantially outweighed by the adverse effects. Therefore, the proposal does not accord with Policy S5 of the NPPF and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
