Under the scheme of public participation,
Councillor Susie Charles spoke in support of the application.
It was proposed by Councillor Helen Helme and
seconded by Councillor Andrew Kay:
“That the application be
approved.”
(The proposal was
contrary to the case officer’s recommendation that the
application be refused).
Upon being put to the vote, 6 Members voted in
favour of the proposition and 8 against, whereupon the Chairman
declared the proposal to be lost.
It was then proposed by Councillor Janice
Hanson and seconded by Councillor Eileen Blamire:
“That the application be
refused.”
Upon being put to the vote, 8 Members voted in
favour of the proposition and 6 against, whereupoin the Chairman
declared the proposal to be carried.
Resolved:
|
That Planning
Permission
be refused
for the
following reasons:
|
|
1.
|
The site is located within Whams Lane
in a central position of existing ribbon development in the rural
hamlet of Bay Horse. Bay Horse contains minimal key services and as
such is not considered to be sustainable in terms of its location.
The site does not have immediate and direct access to key services
and infrastructure and would realistically only be accessible by
using a private car. In addition it has
not been demonstrated that the development would enhance or
maintain the vitality of the local community or help sustain
services in nearby settlements. There
has been no exceptional justification provided to support this
development in an unsustainable rural location such as an existing
agricultural or forestry need. As such the proposal is therefore
contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy
Framework, in particular the Core Planning Principles, and does not
fall within any of the circumstances set out in Paragraph 55, Core
Strategy policy SC1, and Policies DM20 (criteria ll) and DM42 of
the Development Management Development Plan
Document.
|
|
2.
|
The
proposed polytunnels, by virtue of their size, scale and footprint,
will be a dominant feature in the wider landscape and will be an
unneighbourly feature at relatively close proximity to the nearest
neighbouring dwelling (Oak Villa). As a
consequence they are considered to represent inappropriate
development by virtue of the impact upon Oak Villa and are
therefore considered contrary to policy DM35 of the Development
Management DPD and the provisions of paragraph 17 of the National
Planning Policy Framework.

It was proposed by Councillor Eileen Blamire
and seconded by Councillor Janice Hanson:
“That the application be
refused.”
Upon being put to the vote, Members voted
unanimously in favour of the proposition, whereupon the Chairman
declared the proposal to be carried.
Resolved:
|
That Planning Permission
be refused
for the
following
reasons:
|
|
1.
|
By reason of the size, siting and
design of the building, the topography of the land, the size,
design and location of the proposed access, including the removal
of a section of woodland trees, and the associated engineering
operations, the development will have a detrimental impact on the
character and appearance of the landscape, including the
incongruous and urbanising impact on this rural road and
the significant harm to the
established woodland belt. As a result of this, the development
would also have an adverse impact on the setting of the Forest of
Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The proposal is
therefore contrary to the aims and objectives of the core Planning
Principles and Sections 7 and 11 of the National Planning policy
Framework, Saved Policies E3 and E4 of the Lancaster District Local
Plan, and Policies DM28, DM29 and DM35 of the Development
management Development Plan Document.

the City Council has no obection to the application subject to the
conditions set out in the report.”

Resolved:
|
That the City Council has no
objection to the proposal, subject to the
following:
|
- Additional planting takes place along the northwest boundary
where gaps in the existing boundary treatment exist in order to
help screen the development. If this boundary is not under the
control of the applicant, additional planting should take place
within the site, adjacent to the boundary to ensure that the
development is adequately screened for the lifetime of its
operation.
- Additional planting between the site and the nearby residential
properties to help screen the development from residential
properties should be mature and well established at the point of
planting, it should provide sufficient natural screening with
immediate effect.
- Some enhancement to biodiversity is recommended. Other similar
sites have included the requirement for a Habitat Management
Plan.
- Consideration given to hours/times of maintenance to ensure no
detrimental impact on the adjacent properties.
