This delegation also allows the Head of Planning to negotiate and amend applications, conditions, reasons for refusal and notes commensurate with the instructions of the Committee.

AND 2 SEMI DETACHED 3 BED HOUSES WITH ASSOCIATED MEWS ACCESSGemselect Ltd

DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)1. It is the opinion of the Local Planning Authority that the sloping topography of the

site with the existence of several mature trees constitute over-riding environmental considerations which would prevent making the best use of the land by achieving an overall net density of at least 30 dwellings per hectare. This

15

would be contrary to Government Advice contained in PPG3: Housing and to Policy HG4(viii) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

2. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority that the proposal would not result in the felling of several trees that make a significant contribution to the visual amenities of the area, the loss of which would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area and contrary to Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

3. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority that the site could be satisfactorily developed without significant regrading of land levels. In the absence of details of proposed levels, the Local Planning Authority has been unable to assess the impact of the development upon the amenities of the area, particularly those of the adjoining properties, and ensure that the development would accord with Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

4. By virtue of its close proximity to existing dwellings in the vicinity, the development is likely to result in loss of privacy and noise disturbance and be out of character with and detrimental to the amenities of those dwellings contrary to Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

5. The Local Planning Authority has considered Government advice contained in PPG9: Nature Conservation relating to protected species and considers that it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development would not result in harm to species protected under The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and The Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c) Regulations 1994.

6. The proposal would lead to an increased traffic hazard on the A269 a major distributor route in the County Council’s hierarchy of roads, by reason of the inadequate visibility at the proposed access. In addition the Highway Authority does not consider the proposed kerb re-alignment of the A269 (Ninfield Road) to be in the interests of highway safety.

DECISION REFUSE (OUTLINE PLANNING)1. Whilst the site is within a development boundary as defined in the Rother District

Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) it is considered that the proposal conflicts with Policy GD1 of the Plan in that the scale density form and character of the development would not be compatible with the adjacent surrounding area. In particular the development would detract from the character and appearance of the locality and would be out of keeping with an unreasonably harm the amenities of adjoining properties.

2. The site lies within the high Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where Polciies S1(j), EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 indicate that development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the proposal does not meet this objective and it would cause harm to the rural character of the area.Reason: Non essential development AONB – Structure Plan).

3. RN14A (Precedent)4. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority

that 40% of the total number of dwellings to be provided are intended for affordable housing for local people. The proposal therefore conflicts with the requirements of Policy HG1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

DECISION REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)1. The proposed use of this site for residential development conflicts with Policy

EM2 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) in that proposals to change the use of existing buildings or develop site currently or last in employment creating use will generally be resisted. It has not been satisfactorily demonstrated that all means of retaining the site in business/commercial use have been full explored or that the continued use of the site for business/commercial purposes would perpetuate serious harm to residential amenities. The proposal also conflicts with Policies E5 and E7 pf the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 which sets out a requirement to safeguard the level of the existing stock of industrial and commercial premises.

ERECTION OF TWO STOREY EXTENSION AT FRONT OF PROPERTYMr & Mrs J F Stevens

DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING) DELEGATED (UNLESS SATISFACTORY PLANS INDICATING LINKAGE TO ADJOINING DWELLING ARE SUBMITTED)1. The application proposes linking the extension at the northern end with the

neighbouring dwelling (no 2 Blenheim Court) and the Statutory Notice has been served on the owners of that property. Information that has been received on the application indicates that consent to carry out work affecting the neighbouring property is unlikely to be given. In the circumstances there is serious doubt that, in the event that planning permission is granted, the development will be capable of being fully implemented in accordance with the details shown on the plans. A satisfactory form of extension has not, therefore, been demonstrated that is capable of being fully completed and ‘knitted-in’ at its northern end with no 1 Blenheim Court. Furthermore, it has not been demonstrated that the resultant extension would be of a design, bulk and form that would be in keeping with the street scene and the visual amenities of the area. It has not been demonstrated that the development would comply with plicy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

Natural Beauty, outside any town or village development boundary as defined in the Rother District Local Plan Revised Deposit, 2003. Within such areas the plan contains a strong presumption against residential development unless it meets the exceptions described. In this case the proposal does not involve the replacement of an existing dwelling on a one for one basis which would result in the replacement of an existing dwelling being of comparable size or scale and therefore having and intrusive character upon the surrounding landscape and out of keeping with surrounding dwelling types. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies GD1(4) HG10(i) contained within the Rother District Local Plan Revised Deposit, 2003 and Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.

DECISION: REFUSE (OUTLINE PLANNING)1. The proposed development would result in the loss of an employment site and it

has not been demonstrated that there is no prospect of its continued use for business purposes. For these reasons the development is contrary to Policy E5

of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy EM2 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

2. In exceptional circumstances, planning permission may be granted for residential development outside development boundaries in order to meet a local housing need among those people unable to compete in the normal housing market. Proposals for development will be considered in the context of the following:(i) There should be clear evidence of an unsatisfied housing need in the

town/village or parish that cannot be met through normal market mechanisms;

(ii) The proposed development should be of a size, cost and type appropriate to those people in local housing need established in (i) above;

(iii) Any proposal should ensure that occupation can be controlled through appropriate legal agreements to meet the local housing needs of those people unable to compete in the normal housing market in the town/village or parish both now and in the future;

(iv) The proposed development should be well located within or adjacent to an existing settlement and be of an appropriate scale and character in keeping with existing development in the locality and normally provide good access to local facilities, e.g. shops and schools;

(v) The proposed development should not be intrusive in the landscape and should be in keeping with the character of the surrounding development and locality;

(vi) The proposed development should meet normal local planning and highway authority criteria for access, parking, retention of trees, landscaping and impact on neighbouring properties;

vii) A legal agreement will be required to secure the above objectives.The proposal does not meet these criteria, and therefore the development conflicts with Policy HG2 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) and Policies S10(c) and H5 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.

3. The site lies within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where policies S1(j), EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011, Policy DS1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) and Government Advice contained in PPG7 indicate that development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the proposal does not meet this objective, and it would cause harm to the rural character of the area.

RR/2003/1617/P SEDLESCOMBE PARK VIEW, THE STREET23 JUL 2003 OUTLINE: DEMOLITION OF PARK VIEW AND OUTBUILDINGS

AND ERECTION OF 7 HOUSES WITH GARAGES AND NEW ACCESS ROAD AND FORMATION OF NEW VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESSMarkar Ltd

DECISION: REFUSE (OUTLINE PLANNING)1. Part of the site is within the countryside outside any town or village as defined in

the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003). Policies S1, S10 and S11 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 contains a strong presumption against residential development unless it meets one of the exceptions described in the Plan. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority that the proposed residential

27

development is essential for the needs of an enterprise that must be in a rural location. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to those policies.

2. Part of the proposed development site lies outside of the Development Boundary for Sedlescombe set out in the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003). No compelling justification for such a location has been demonstrated, the proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policy HG10 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

3. The site lies within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where Policies EN1, EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and government advice in PPG7 indicate that development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the proposal does not meet this objective and it would have a harmful effect on the rural character of the area.

4. The proposed access road development would affect land of special nature conservation interest. The land is within the Brede Valley designated site of Nature Conservation Importance indicated in the Rother District Council Local Sites of Nature Conservation Importance supplementary planning guidance document. There is no compelling justification for the proposed development and the proposal is contrary to Policy CNE10 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

5. The site falls within the proposed Sedlescombe Conservation Area. The illustrative drawing provided with the outline application suggests a suburban form of development that would be out of keeping with the special architectural and historic character of the area. The proposal is contrary to Policies S1(m), S8(e) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

6. Notwithstanding the aforementioned policy objections to the principle development of the site, the proposed scheme does not include any provision for affordable housing for local people on the site as required under Policy HG1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003). Affordable housing would normally be controlled through appropriate legal agreements by a Housing Association approved by the Local Planning Authority.

DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING) 1. The site lies within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where

Policies S1, EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and DS1(vi) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) indicate that development can be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the creation of the access and track and its usage would have a harmful effect on the rural character of the area. It is therefore contrary to the above policies and Government Advice contained in PPG7.

DECISION REFUSE (FULL PLANNING) 1. The proposed use of the land within the High Weald AONB is considered

inappropriate due to the detrimental impact it would have upon the ancient woodland in terms of its setting, ecological value and the impact upon the residential amenities of neighbouring properties.

DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)1. The site is located within Pett village and is considered acceptable for a

residential live/work scheme. The site is on a sloping site closely related to adjoining residential properties. The illustrative layout deposited in support of the proposed scheme fails to demonstrate that development of the scale and size proposed will not have an adverse environmental impact on the residential amenities of adjoining properties. The development as proposed does not satisfy the requirements of Policy GD1 (ii) & (iv) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) and Policy S1(f) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.
