APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION 94048/FUL/18 - ONION FARM, WARBURTON LANE, WARBURTON

Minutes:

The Head of Planning and Development submitted a report concerning an application for planning permission for the demolition of existing Dutch barn and the construction of a double garage to form a farmyard/forecourt to Onion Farm. Erection of a cottage outside the curtilage of Onion Farm, existing pigsty to be converted to a refuse store with the installation of new fencing to enclose the site.

 

It was moved and seconded that planning permission be granted.

 

The motion was put to the vote and declared carried.

 

          RESOLVED:  That planning permission be granted.

 

Reason for Approval:  The proposed development is considered to be inappropriate development within the Green Belt as set out at paragraphs 145 and 146 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Paragraph 143 of the NPPF states that inappropriate development is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in Very Special Circumstances (VSC). Paragraph 144 of the NPPF states that local planning authorities should ensure that substantial weight is given to any harm to the Green Belt and that VSC will not exist unless the potential harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm resulting from the proposal, is clearly outweighed by other considerations.

 

The VSC put forward are the benefits that arise from the development by the enhancement of the setting of the Grade II Listed Building, Onion Farm House, by the demolition of the Dutch Barn.

 

The Local Planning Authority also had regard to the requirement at Section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the listed building or its setting as well as the advice at paragraphs 189 – 202 of the NPPF. It determined that the proposal as a whole enhances the setting of the listed building.     

 

The Local Planning Authority has had regard to the advice set out above and determined that in this instance the VSC clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt caused by the inappropriate nature of the development and that there is no other harm arising from the proposal.
