Minutes: Outline application (all matters reserved except vehicular access) for the erection of 240 residential dwellings (use class C3), retention of the existing accesses off Barlestone Road, a cemetery and a health centre car park, public open space and associated infrastructure.
An objector, representatives of the applicant and a representative of the parish council spoke on this application.
Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation that permission be granted, members felt that the harm outweighed the benefits of the proposed development as it would have a detrimental impact on the character of the village, was outside of the settlement boundary, would have a detrimental impact on the character of and access to the countryside, particularly on the eastern edge and was therefore contrary to policies DM4 and DM10 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document. It was moved by Councillor Bools, seconded by Councillor Webber-Jones and unanimously
RESOLVED – permission be refused due to detrimental impact on the character of the village, being outside of the settlement boundary and detrimental impact on the character of and access to the countryside. |
