Issue - meetings

Application for residential development for two detached dwellings (Outline – access only).

Late items:

Recommendation:-

Amend reason for refusal as follows:

1. The proposal would result in unsustainable residential development in the designated countryside outside the settlement boundary of Desford. The development would also introduce a urbanised built form within an otherwise open rural area. The proposal would fail to complement or enhance the intrinsic value, beauty, undeveloped rural character of the countryside.  The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DM1, DM4 and DM10 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Polices DPD (2016).

Application for residential development for two detached dwellings (outline – access only).

Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation that the application be refused, it was moved by Councillor Surtees and seconded by Councillor Morrell that permission be granted as the development was within a garden, would not be visible from the road and the proposals had received no objections from neighbours. Upon being put to the vote, the motion was LOST.

It was moved by Councillor Crooks, seconded by Councillor Cope and

RESOLVED – permission be refused for the reasons contained in the officer’s report and late items.

Councillor Taylor returned to the meeting at 8.10pm.
