Councillors David Hughes, Peter Dobbs, Stuart Lees and Anthony Bates declared non-pecuniary interests in Item 5.8 as Members of the Ashbourne Reborn Programme Board.

Following the Committee’s decision to over-turn the recommendation for application 23/01206/FUL, the wording of the decision is attached for ratification as it was not identified in full at the last planning committee.

23/01206/FUL         Erection of 4no. dwellinghouses and associated garages with demolition of existing dwellinghouse and outbuildings

                              Ivy House Farm, Main Road, Wyaston, Derbyshire

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.
