Decisions:
Members had visited the site on the previous day.
The Planning Officer introduced the item making it clear that this was an application for outline permission only.
The Officer recommendation to refuse the application for outline permission was moved and seconded.
Members discussed concerns regarding the overdevelopment of the site and the loss of green spaces. There were concerns regarding parking as there were already problems with many cars on site. Members suggested that the green spaces be used for parking if they were to be developed.
The Officer recommendation to refuse the application for outline permission was put to the vote and carried.
RESOLVED:
|
To REFUSE the application for the following reasons: |
|
1. Core Strategy policy E1D requires safeguarding of the existing land and buildings for business use where they are in high quality suitable locations such as Deepdale Business Park. As the location is considered to be appropriate for business use, the proposal is contrary to policy E1D. 2. Policy HC1 does not permit new open market housing other than as an enhancement to a previously developed site. As this proposal offers no enhancement it is contrary to policy HC1. Furthermore, it is considered that the development would not deliver a significant amount of affordable housing to justify new open market housing and is therefore also contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and the guidance provided within English National Parks and Broads: UK Government Vision and Circular 2010. |
