RESOLVED

 

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.    The proposed development would result in encroachment in the open countryside location and would be harmful to the local landscape's intrinsic character and distinctiveness and would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing provision. The proposal therefore would not constitute a sustainable form of development contrary to Policies S4, PD1 and PD5 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).

Erection of 1no.dwellinghouse with associated works at Land North of Ember Lane, Bonsall, Derbyshire.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

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

 

The application being considered was for the erection of 1 no. dwellinghouse with associated works at Land North of Ember Lane, Bonsall, Derbyshire.

 

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 Samantha Taylor (Applicant’s representative) spoke in support of the application. Mrs Brenda Greaves (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 correspondence received from the Applicant’s Agent and their response to the representations received.

 

It was moved by Councillor David Burton, seconded by Councillor Roger Shelley and

 

RESOLVED

 

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.     The proposal would result in an unwarranted and incongruous form of development that would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of Bonsall Conservation Area by virtue of its siting, design, form, scale, mass and materials. It is considered that the proposal would result in less than substantial harm that would not be outweighed by public benefits to be derived from the provision of a single dwelling to seek to address the District Council’s inability to demonstrate a five year housing land supply, as such, the proposals are contrary to the aims of Policies S1, S4, PD1, PD2, and PD5 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017) and government guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

2.     The development fails to maintain a satisfactory relationship with surrounding dwellings and would cause an unacceptable impact by virtue of its scale, siting and form, which would result in an overbearing effect on no. 31 and 33 Church Street thus fails to comply with policy PD1 of the Adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017).
