That planning application 2022/0614/OUT
be REFUSED contrary to the Officer’s recommendation.
Following the members discussion it was decided that the cumulative
impact of the application proposals in conjunction with the
recently approved development in the locality adjacent to the
application site would result in overdevelopment of the area and an
unsustainable pattern of growth and furthermore given the poor
access to services, facilities and employment opportunities for
future occupiers the application scheme would result in travel
patterns that rely on car travel. There would also be a loss of
open countryside and good agricultural land and it was contrary to
the wishes of the Parish Councils. The harms identified
significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
Votes – 6 for,
