Refusals

  • CodeNOSTDRR 
  • TextThe general thrust of both local and national policy is to support sustainable development and of development that would promote the health and well-being of communities. Policy CS 1 of the adopted Charnwood Local Plan 2011 to 2028 Core Strategy relates to the hierarchy of sustainability of settlements in the Borough as locations for new development. The application site lies outside the limits to development of East Goscote, which is identified by Policy CS 1 as being in the 'Other Settlement ' category of its settlement hierarchy. Policy CS 1 makes provision to meet the local social and economic need for development in Other Settlements by responding positively to small scale opportunities within defined limits to development. The proposal is not small scale and not within the settlement boundary and neither has a local housing need been demonstrated. As such, the proposal is considered to be contrary to the Adopted Local Plan Core Strategy 2011-28 Policies CS 1 and CS 25, which both seek to reflect the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework. Furthermore it is contrary to Policies CT/1 and CT/2 of the Adopted Borough of Charnwood Local Plan 1991-2006 and no material considerations have been advanced that warrant setting aside the provisions of the Development Plan.  
  • CodeNOSTDRR 
  • TextPolicy CS 13 of the adopted Charnwood Local Plan 2011 to 2028 Core Strategy seeks to conserve and enhance the natural environment .In accordance with this policy impacts on biodiversity will require mitigation. The applicant has failed to provide evidence that adequate mitigation will be provided to compensate for the adverse impact of this development upon biodiversity, including failing to provide a satisfactory alternative for existing mitigation relating to the Rearsby Roses development .Consequently ,the proposal is considered to be contrary to the Policy CS 13 of the Adopted Local Plan Core Strategy 2011-28 and paragraphs 170 and 175 of the National Planning Policy Framework.  
  • CodeNOSTDRR 
  • TextIn the absence of a signed Planning Obligation, although a Draft Heads of Terms is noted, the proposal fails to deliver an appropriate level of affordable housing and contributions towards sustainable travel, ecology, education, libraries, civic amenity, local community facilities, health care, open space, play provision that are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms. The proposals would be contrary to Policies CS3, CS13, CS17 and CS24 of the Charnwood Local Plan 2011-2028, Core Strategy (2015) and adopted Housing Supplementary Planning Document (2017) and Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations.
