Outline application for the erection of two dwellings and associated access.

Ellel Ward

   R

It was proposed by Councillor Keith Budden and seconded by Councillor Richard Austen-Baker, contrary to the officer’s recommendation in the report:

 

“That the application be approved because the proposed development was considered to be appropriate development in a sustainable location and the small number of houses would not have a ribbon effect”.

 

Upon being put to the vote, 5 Councillors voted in favour of the proposition and 6 against, with 3 abstentions, whereupon the Chair declared the proposal to be lost.

 

It was then proposed by Councillor Dave Brookes and seconded by Councillor Tim Dant:

 

“That the application be refused.”

 

Upon being put to the vote, 9 Councillors voted in favour of the proposition and 4 against, with 1 abstention, whereupon the Chair declared the proposal to be carried.

 

Resolved:

 

That Outline Planning Permission be refused for the following reasons:

 

1.

The site is located within the open countryside, divorced from key services and facilities and as such it is considered to be unsustainable in terms of its location.  There are considered to be no special circumstances, in this instance, to justify two new dwellings in this unsustainable location. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, in particular section 5, Policy SC1 of Lancaster District Core Strategy and Policies DM20 and DM42 of the Development Management Development Plan Document.

 

2.

The development would result in an inappropriate form of ribbon development along this rural road within the open countryside and this would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area. It is therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, in particular Sections 12 and 15, and Policies DM28 and DM35 of the Development Management Development Plan Document.
