Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to inappropriate design and location in a sensitive landscape, failure to demonstrate compliance with local housing need for permanent residential use, and significant technical deficiencies regarding wastewater, flood risk, and traffic safety.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed machine store and fencing are inappropriately designed for a prominent site within a Level 8 village and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, failing to integrate with the existing settlement character.
- The removal of the holiday-use condition would create permanent residential units without demonstrating compliance with local housing need criteria or meeting minimum standards for layout, parking, and private amenity.
- The development poses risks to public health and safety due to an unacceptable shared wastewater arrangement, insufficient information regarding flood risk, and a lack of demonstrated sightlines at the proposed entrance.
