Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is 'inappropriate' development within the Green Belt, and the impact on Green Belt openness is significant which is given substantial weight. The application site contributes positively to the West Midlands Green Belt and this development does not form an exception to inappropriate development within the Green Belt in the form of exceptions set out within paragraph 154 of the NPPF with regard to limited infill, nor the grey belt exception as set out in paragraph 155. Very special circumstances do not exist as the benefit of the scheme in delivering 2 dwellings is a small contribution which does not clearly outweigh the harm, by way of impact on the Green Belt and the unsustainable location of the site. The proposal is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy GB1 and Core Policy 11, nor Section 9, 13 and paragraph 11d of the NPPF.
  2. The application fails to demonstrate safe and suitable access into the site, as the visibility splays provided are incorrectly drawn and therefore do not provide certainty that the development would not result in an exacerbated risk of conflict with all road users. The development as such does not accord with Paragraphs 115 and 116 of the NPPF nor Core Policy 11 of the Adopted Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
