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, Ms Sarah Whitehead (Local Resident) and Mr Barry Thomas spoke against the application.

Correspondence received after publication of the agenda was distributed at the meeting. This comprised of a further letter of representation in objection to the application.

 

It was moved by Councillor Peter O’Brien, seconded by Councillor Garry Purdy and

 

RESOLVED

 

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.    The amount of rooflights on the currently plain / blank rear roof slopes of the property would fail to preserve the special architectural interest and significance of this grade II listed building. The level of harm that would result from the proposals would be less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset, however, this would not be outweighed by any public benefit. As such, the proposals are contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework - 2021 (Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment), National Planning Practice Guidance and the Historic England Advice Note 2 - Making Changes to Heritage Assets (2016).

Minutes:

The Senior Planning Officer 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, Ms Kathryn Stirling (Local Resident) and Mr Mark Young (Local Resident) spoke against the application. Cllr. Jason Farmer (Darley Dale Town Council) commented on 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 a further letter of representation in objection to the application.

 

It was moved by Councillor Garry Purdy, seconded by Councillor Helen Froggatt and

 

RESOLVED (unanimously)

 

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.    The provision of 3 no. dwellinghouses on the site would be at odds with the prevailing character of development on the eastern side of Wheatley Road and result in significant harm to settlement pattern and the local landscape / defining characteristics of the countryside setting of Two Dales. The development would therefore be in direct conflict with policies S1, PD1 and PD5 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017), policy NP16 of the Darley Dale Neighborhood Plan (2020) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2021).

 

2.    The proposed development would be on land which forms part of the setting of the adjacent grade II listed building 'The Cottage' dating from 1704. The loss of part of this historic setting would be harmful to the authenticity of the surroundings to the listed building thereby causing less than substantial harm to its significance that would not be outweighed by the public benefits to be derived. The development would therefore conflict with Policy PD2 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2021).

 

The Chairman declared the motion CARRIED.
