| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the applicant has failed to provide very special circumstances to outweigh this harm and the corresponding harm to the openness of the Green Belt contrary to Policies CS4 ‘Green Belt’ and SP2 ‘Development in the Green Belt’ and advice contained within the NPPF.

The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the site can be accessed and egressed safely. As such, the proposed development would be detrimental to highway safety.

The design of the proposed dwelling is poor quality and utilitarian in appearance lacking architectural interest and detailing and is therefore contrary to Core Strategy Policy CS28 – Sustainable Design and Sites and Policies Policy SP55 Sustainable Design and the guidance contained within the NPPF .
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant did enter into pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority. However, discussions during the determination of the application have identified that it is 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.
