The following spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme;

·         Mrs Mandy Turley, Applicant

RESOLVED:

To REFUSE the application for the following reason:

By virtue of the outbuilding’s size, siting and use of materials, it would fail to reflect the local building vernacular, and thereby detract from the valued characteristics of the traditional cottage and its setting.  Moreover, the outbuilding would be seen from public vantage points, exacerbating the harmful impact on the cottage, its immediate surroundings and the wider landscape impact, therefore failing to conserve the character of the landscape and scenic beauty of the National Park more widely. As such, the development is contrary to policies in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), Core Strategy Policies GSP1, GSP2, GSP3, DS1, L1 and Local Plan Policies LC4, and LH4.

Cllr J Macrae left the meeting at 3.35pm, following consideration of this application.
