It is established planning policy, at both national and local level, that new development should be permitted outside established settlements in exceptional circumstances only. These circumstances normally relate to an agricultural need. The application site is located in the countryside and there are no exceptional circumstances which justify over-riding the normal planning policies. The proposed development would conflict with the provisions of Paragraph 79 of the NPPF, Policies CS1, CS10 and CS11 of the Core Strategy (2015) and Saved Policies ST/2 and CT/1 of the adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan (2004) which promote sustainable development in the countryside.
