| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed stone and tile building, separated from the host property by the line of the Chesterfield Canal, represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt and has a materially adverse effect on the character and openness of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated to overcome the harm caused by the inappropriate development, and other harm caused, and consequently the proposal is in conflict with Policy CS4 ‘Green Belt’ and SP2 ‘Development in the Green Belt’ of the Local Plan and the guidance contained within the NPPF.
02
The outbuilding would potentially prevent the restoration of the Chesterfield Canal contrary to Local Plan Policy SP 31 Canals.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. Discussions during the determination of the application have identified that it is not possible to support a scheme of this nature and no amendments have been put forward by the applicant to 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.
