Core Refusal Reason
The applicant failed to demonstrate a bona fide rural housing need, and the proposal would create a traffic hazard while negatively impacting the visual amenities of the rural landscape.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The applicant did not demonstrate a functional social or economic need to live in the open countryside as required by CPO 6.41 and Table 6.3 of the County Development Plan.
- The proposed development, including the retention of sub-standard temporary structures and excessive hard landscaping, would be injurious to the visual amenities of the area and set an undesirable precedent.
- The proposed entrance would result in a serious traffic hazard due to restricted sightlines and poor vertical alignment of the L-7235-22 road, falling short of the requirements of CPO 12.34.
