Officer report
Why officers recommended refusal
Officers considered the site was not a small gap in a substantial frontage and that the dwelling would create ribbon development and erode rural character.
“Planning Policy Statement 21 - Sustainable Development in the Countryside Policy CTY8 of PPS21 states that permission will be refused for applications which create or add to ribbon development in the countryside.”
“Figure 1 – plan showing the existing development pattern along the road frontage, site shown in red. Ribbon development is cited as being detrimental to rural landscapes, creating a built-up appearance to roads. As such, another dwelling in this location will create build up when read with the dwellings to the rear and will be detrimental to the rural character of this area.”
Officer report
Committee decision
The committee agreed to defer the application for one month to allow additional information to be submitted.
“Agreed that application be deferred for one month for submission of additional information.”
