Minutes:

The Development Manager gave a presentation showing details of the application and photographs of the site and surroundings.

 

The Committee visited the site prior to the meeting to allow Members to appreciate the proposal in the context of its surroundings.

 

In accordance with the procedure for public participation, Mr Barry Britland (Applicant) spoke in support of the application. Mr Mike Gibson (Local resident) and Ms Andrea Cross (Local resident) spoke against the application.

 

Consultation responses were set out in section 5 of the report.

 

Correspondence received after publication of the agenda was distributed at the meeting. This comprised of twelve letters received from local residents and comments from the Agent which were circulated to Members and published to the District Council website.

 

It was moved by Councillor Peter Slack, seconded by Councillor David Hughes and

 

RESOLVED

 

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons;

 

1.    The proposal is in a remote rural location not served by public transport such that visitors would be wholly reliant on the private car to access the facility. The proposal as such is an unsustainable form of rural tourism contrary to Policies S1, S4 and EC9 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017).

 

2.    The siting of the proposal being isolated from any associated built development on the holding is not considered appropriate in this landscape context and is considered harmful to the character of the local and wider landscape, appearing incongruous and visually intrusive in the landscape. The application fails to provide any landscape assessment or propose any mitigation to inform the decision. The application is therefore contrary to Policies S4, PD1, PD5 and EC8 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017).

 

3.    Insufficient information has been supplied in terms of the ecological value of the grassland in order to assess the impact of the proposal on biodiversity and any measures to avoid, minimise or mitigate impacts, contrary to Policy PD3 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017).

 

4.    By virtue of its design and detailing, the retention of amenity block A would harm the setting of the grade II listed Hardhurst Farm. The harm would be less than substantial but would not be outweighed by any public benefits. The application is therefore contrary to Policy PD2 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017) and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

5.    The use of amenity block A would be detrimental to the residential amenity of neighbouring properties in respect of noise, light and disturbance, contrary to Policy PD1 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017).
