Decision Date: 03 November 2026
Decision Type: REFUSED
Temporary Expiry Date:
Decision Level/Committee: Delegated (Part 2A)
Conditions / Reason for Refusal: 01 The application site is poorly served by public transport and remote from day to day facilities such that the occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be reliant on the use of a car, accordingly the proposal is considered to be an unsustainable form of development in conflict with the aims and objectives set out within the NPPF including Policy TR3. 02 The Council considers that the development, if implemented, would result in the introduction of additional vehicular traffic onto the unmade, private access drive to the detriment of the free and safe flow of other traffic, including pedestrians. POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. It was not possible to support a scheme of this nature nor would any amendments make it acceptable. It was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and resulted in this refusal.
