London Barn, NN13 5PB

1. 1.The submitted Site Location Plan identifies a residential curtilage that extends beyond the area immediately beside or around the agricultural building exceeding the footprint of the converted buildings as defined within Paragraph X of Schedule 2, Part 3 of the General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) which is applicable for Class Q (agricultural buildings to dwellinghouses) applications. Consequently, the proposal does not satisfy the requirements of Class Q and does not benefit from permitted development rights.
2. 2.The former access track serving the site has been ploughed over and would require reinstatement, whilst there would be a requirement for the creation and formalisation of an access onto the public highway. The Local Planning Authority is therefore not satisfied that a suitable existing access is available to serve the proposed dwelling and as such Prior approval is required in respect of the transport and highways impacts of the development. As such, insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposal would provide safe and satisfactory access arrangements which in turn with the lack of access to the building(s) would make the location and siting impractical and undesirable for residential use. The application is therefore refused in respect of these impacts under Paragraph Q2 – (1) (a) and (e) of Class Q, Part 3, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). and any conditions imposed by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 Checked by: CB
