A site visit was held in respect of this item
on 30th January 2017 minute 126 (2016/2017) refers.
Under the scheme of public participation,
Barbara Atkinson representative for the Parish Council and Ward
Councillor Peter Williamson spoke in support of the
application.
It was proposed by Councillor Dave Brookes and
seconded by Councillor Margaret Pattison:
“That the application be
refused.”
Upon being put to the vote, 7 Members voted in
favour of the proposition and 7 against, with 1 abstention. The
Chairman then, in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 19.2, used
her casting vote and declared the proposal to be carried by virtue
of her casting vote.
Resolved:
|
That
Planning Permission be refused for the following
reasons:
|
|
1.
|
The
site is located within a small rural settlement with very limited
services and as such is not considered to be sustainable in terms
of its location. It is not considered that a sufficient and robust
justification has been put forward to justify four new dwellings in
this unsustainable location and it is likely that the proposal
could have a detrimental impact on the viability and vitality of
the pub business which it proposes to support. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims and
objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, in particular
the Core Planning Principles and Sections 6 and 8, Policy SC1 of
Lancaster District Core Strategy and Policies DM20, DM42 and DM49
of the Development Management Development Plan
Document.
|
|
2.
|
The
proposed alterations to the barn do not respect the character and
appearance of the building and would result in an overly domestic
appearance. The design and layout of the new dwellings does not
relate well to the surrounding built heritage and fails to provide
an appropriate level of private amenity space, including in
relation to the barn conversion. It is therefore considered that
the proposal does not represent good design and is contrary to the
aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, in
particular the Core Planning Principles, Section 7, and Section 12,
and policies DM8, DM31, DM32, DM33, DM35 and DM42 of the
Development Management Development Plan Document.
|
|
3.
|
As a
result of increased traffic movements and poor visibility at the
site’s entrance, the application has failed to demonstrate
that it will benefit from a safe access point onto the public
highway. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims and
objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework, in particular
Section 4, and policies DM20 of the Development Management
Development Plan Document.
