Proposed Residential Development Land To The East Of Stoneleigh Close Acton Burnell Shropshire (20/01757/OUT) pdf icon PDF 270 KB

Outline application for a residential development to include matters of access and layout (amended description)

Minutes:

The Principal Planner introduced the application, which was an outline application for a residential development to include matters of access and layout and with reference to the drawings and photographs displayed, he drew Members’ attention to the location, layout and elevations.

 

In accordance with virtual meeting speaking protocol the following Public Speaker statements were read out:

 

·         J Long (Chair) on behalf of Acton Burnell, Frodesley, Pitchford, Ruckley and

Langley Parish Council

·         Amy Henson (Agent) on behalf of the applicants

 

During the ensuing debate Members comments included

 

·         Acton Burnell is designated as open countryside which normally precludes the development of new build open market housing.

·         Concern regarding the inclusion of garden land as part of the application site, in addition to the commercial yard area, in the case for a Departure from the Development Plan being put forward.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That in accordance with the Officer recommendation planning permission be refused for the following reason

 

The application site is in a countryside location where in principle there is a presumption against new build open market residential development according to the Council's settlement strategy, as set out in the adopted Shropshire Core Strategy and Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) Plan. In this case the Albert Davies Yard is deemed Previously Developed Land according to the definition as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and it is acknowledged that there would be community benefits arising from the cessation of commercial activity at the yard which would weigh in favour of residential development as a departure from the Development Plan if the proposed development was confined to that area of land only. However, the application site extends significantly beyond that area onto garden land in this settlement which is subject to countryside Development Plan policies where the presumption against such development still applies. Overall, the proposed development is therefore contrary to Adopted Development Plan policies, CS1, CS4, CS5, MD1, MD3, MD7a and paragraphs 77- 79 of the NPPF.
