About this application

This is a planning application at The Blackladies Kiddemore Green Road Brewood STAFFORD ST19 9BH. South Staffordshire has handled 4,429 applications of this type. This one was decided in 65 days, 9 days longer than South Staffordshire's typical decision time. The site is in 2 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 1,251 applications in total for the ST19 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The application site is located within the West Midlands Green Belt and the proposed development is considered to be inappropriate development as set out in policy GB1 of the adopted Core Strategy, DS1 of the emerging local plan and paragraphs 154 and 155 of the NPPF. The development does not meet any of the listed exception within paragraphs 154 and 155 of the NPPF and would have a material impact on the openness of the Green Belt.
  2. No considerations have been advanced that amount to the very special circumstances required to clearly outweigh the harm the development would cause to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, as well as any other harm resulting from the development, contrary to Policy GB1, policy DS1 of the emerging local plan and paragraph 153 of the NPPF.
  3. No arboricultural assessment has been submitted with the application therefore it fails to demonstrate what impact the proposals might have on the 2.no high value amenity trees and hedgerow located immediately within the vicinity of the proposed works. Further, the application lacks detail on what mitigation measures will be in place during construction to protect the trees and hedgerow. Accordingly, there are concerns over the long term retention of these features contrary to policy EQ4 of the adopted local plan and policy NB4 of the emerging local plan.
  4. The proposed development would reduce the useable area of the bridleway, diverting the public right of way closer to the landscaping features, narrowing the access point and obstructing the currently open bridleway by the installation of gates that would potentially disadvantage some users. No robust justification has been provided to justify the installation of the walls and gates and the application therefore fails to protect or enhance the existing public right of way, contrary to the aims of paragraph 105 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
