Whilst it is acknowledged that the Council is not currently able to demonstrate the availability of a five year supply of housing land and there is a presumption in favour of sustainable development, the cumulative detrimental impacts of the development are considered to outweigh the benefits secured by the additional supply of housing. The development is considered to be unsustainable and the cumulative detrimental impacts of this proposal are significant and demonstrable and comprise the following: a. Negative impacts on landscape and visual amenity b. A lack of an effective use of a greenfield, agricultural site outside the existing built up area c. Limited access to services and facilities by sustainable travel options d. Lack of evidence to demonstrate that development of this site is required to meet planned development needs as identified in the emerging policy base for the Borough or any identified local housing need. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims of paragraph 6, 7, 14, 17, 34, 111 and 112 and 123 of the National Planning Policy Framework and does not constitute sustainable development. The proposal is also contrary to Policies CS1, CS11 and CS14 of the emerging Charnwood Local Plan Core Strategy 2006-2028 and policies ST/1, ST/2, CT/1, CT/2, TR/5 and TR/6 of the Borough of Charnwood Local Plan 2004, with weight being given to such policies according to their consistency with the National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning Practice Guidance.
