The Chair declared the motion LOST.

It was then moved by Councillor Peter O’Brien, seconded by Councillor Neil Buttle and

RESOLVED

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

The proposal by virtue of its layout and design approach is not considered to reflect or enhance the character of Wyaston or the characteristics of villages within the Derbyshire Dales. Furthermore, the proposed development of 4 (2 4-bedroom and 2 5-bedroom) detached dwellings is not considered to contribute to the achievement of a sustainable, balanced and inclusive community.

It is considered that the provision of 4 dwellings does not outweigh the District Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

Given the above two paragraphs the proposal is considered to be contrary to the aims of Policies PD1, and HC11 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017) and government guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

(The above reason will be formally ratified at the next Planning Committee)
