Full Application - Demolition of existing single storey boot room and replacement with single storey oak framed orangery/boot room Nields Farm, Swythamley

Minutes:

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Mr P Yates, Agent

 

The recommendation for refusal was moved and seconded.

 

It was noted that officers had advised the applicant that a design which reflected the local tradition would have been considered more favourably and that a smaller design would fall within permitted development rights.

 

The motion for refusal was put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

The proposed single storey oak framed orangery by virtue of the size, scale, form, massing and design, fails to harmonise with or adequately respect the character and appearance of the existing dwelling. The proposal would also have an unduly harmful visual impact on the character of this part of the National Park. In addition, the proposal fails to properly address sustainability and climate change mitigation. As such, the proposed development is contrary to guidance and to the requirements of Core Strategy policies GSP1, GSP3 and L3, CC1 and Development Management Policies DMC3 and DMH7.
