About this application

This is a planning application at Leighton Pool Chillington Lane Codsall Wood. South Staffordshire has handled 4,429 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 209 applications in total for the WV8 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is within the Green Belt and is inappropriate development as set out in Policy GB1 of the adopted Core Strategy and paragraph 154 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The bulk and massing of the proposal results in substantial harm to the Green Belt. There have been no 'very special circumstances' advanced to justify the proposal. The development is therefore harmful to the Green Belt, contrary to Policy GB1 of the adopted Core Strategy and Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
