“HISTORY 4.1 24/02491/PDQS Proposed Change of Use and Building Operations to Convert Existing Agricultural Buildings to 7 Dwelling Houses under Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015. Prior Approval Required and Granted 05.12.2024”

“24/01506/PDQS Application to determine if prior approval is required for a proposed change of use of buildings on agricultural units and former agricultural buildings to 7 dwellinghouses (Class C3) and building operations reasonably necessary for the conversion. Refused 23.08.2024”

“The site which is subject of this application benefits from prior approval for the conversion of existing buildings on the site into residential units (reference 24/02491/PDQS). There is no practical reason that the conversion of the buildings could not be implemented. It is considered that this fallback position be given significant weight in the determination of the planning application, contrary to the provisions of the local development plan.”

“Impact on the Character and Appearance of the Area The character of the area is rural with residential properties spaced out along Hackleys Lane. The neighbouring properties to the southeast are previously converted farm buildings.”

“Landscape – Comment. There are nearby public rights of way but with intervening vegetation there are no direct views from these footpaths. The proposed plot sizes look to be smaller than the neighbouring ones and with garden areas and parking at a minimum. Should permission be granted then details of hard and soft landscaping should be secured by condition.”

“Natural England – Comments on appropriate assessment awaited. Comments will be provided to the committee as a written update.”
