Agenda item

*The Committee considered the under-mentioned applications in light of reports by the Development Management and Conservation Manager and resolved as follows:-

 

CHE/17/00257/FUL - DEMOLITION OF EXISTING FARMHOUSE AND DILAPIDATED ANCILLARY BUILDINGS AND REPLACEMENT WITH 5 NO. DWELLINGS - ECOLOGICAL APPRAISAL AND BAT SURVEYS RECEIVED 20/06/2017 AND SPEED SURVEYS/ACCESS SURVEY 14/07/2017 AT OLDFIELD FARM, WETLANDS LANE, BRIMINGTON, CHESTERFIELD, DERBYSHIRE S43 1QG FOR MR PAUL WALTERS

 

In accordance with Minute No.299 (2001/2002) Mr D Hart (objector), Mr John Dawson (objector), Mr Richard Walters and Mr Paul Walters (the applicant), addressed the meeting. 

 

That the officer recommendation not be upheld and the application be refused for the following reason:-

 

The application site is located in the Open Countryside, as designated by Policy EVR2 of the 2006 Local Plan, and in an area identified under policy CS1 of the 2013 Core Strategy to serve as a Strategic Gap between Brimington and Tapton. 

               

In the context of the policy framework above it is considered that the development proposals, by virtue of their scale and mass, are unacceptable. The development proposals are considered to have a far greater impact upon the open character of the countryside as they will occupy an area materially larger than the site of the existing buildings; and the height of the dwellings proposed are in excess of the height of the existing buildings on site such that the visual impact of the development does not reflect the local character and the development is not in keeping with the surrounding area. For these reasons it is considered that the development proposals are contrary to the provisions of policies CS1 of the Chesterfield Local Plan: Core Strategy 2011-2031; policy EVR2 of 2006 Local Plan (which is a retained designation in the Core Strategy); and the wider provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
