CHE/23/00385/FUL - Proposed solar arrayat Handleywood Farm, Whittington Road, Barrow Hill, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S43 2PW for Mr and Mrs B Steele

*RESOLVED

That the officer recommendation be upheld, that the application be REFUSED for the following reason:

1.  The development proposed is considered to be inappropriate development in the green belt as it does not meet or satisfy any of the ‘exception’ criteria as set out in paragraph 149 of the National Planning Policy Framework and there are no very special circumstances in paragraph 151 which can be accepted which outweigh the harm to the green belt area. The development by virtue of being inappropriate development in the green belt and due to its encroachment of the structures into an open green field will adversely impact upon the openness of the Green Belt within an area of the site which has previously remained open and undeveloped.  It is considered that the development is contrary to the provisions of Policy CLP1 and criteria (a) and (f) of Policy CLP15 of the Chesterfield Local Plan 2018 – 2035 and the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework Chapter 13.
