Decision:
|
Refused
|
Reasons (4)
|
1
|
The proposed use, due to its
remote location in relation to public transport facilities and lack
of provision to meet other sustainable transport objectives will
result in an increase in vehicle journeys at and in the vicinity of
the site to the detriment of the local rural character of the
locality and to general amenity, contrary to policies CP1, CP9,
DBE2, DBE9, LL2, ST1, ST2 and ST4 of the adopted Local Plan and
Alterations, policies SP1, T1, DM3 and DM9 of the Local Plan
Submission Version 2017, and the NPPF 2021.
|
|
2
|
The proposed use results in a
significant increase in activity at and in the vicinity of The
Lodge arising from pedestrian and vehicle movements and associated
activity to the detriment of residents amenity, contrary to
policies DBE2 and DBE9 of the adopted Local Plan and Alterations,
policy DM9 of the Local Plan Submission Version 2017, and the NPPF
2021.
|
|
3
|
The application provides
insufficient information on the operation of the commercial use, in
relation to welfare of visitors and other commercial sales, such
that the Local Planning Authority is unable to fully consider the
wider impact of the use and is concerned that future inappropriate
development may be required as a result of a decision to permit the
use. As such, the proposal would be contrary to policies GB2A, HC2,
DBE2, DBE4, DBE9, LL10 and ST1 of the adopted Local Plan and
Alterations, policies SP6, SP7, DM3, DM4 and T1 of the Local Plan
Submission Version 2017 and the NPPF 2021.
|
|
4
|
The application does not provide
sufficient information to satisfy the Council, as competent
authority, that the proposed development will not adversely affect
the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area for Conservation
and there are no alternative solutions or imperative reasons of
overriding public interest why the proposed development should be
permitted. As such the proposed development is contrary to policies
CP1, CP6 and NC1 of the Epping Forest Local Plan (1998) and
Alterations (2006), policies DM 2 and DM 22 of the Epping Forest
District Local Plan Submission Version 2017, Paragraph 180 of the
NPPF 2021, and the requirements of the Habitats Regulations
2017.

The Local Planning Authority has

revised development.

Decision:
|
Refused
|
Reasons (3)
1.
The change of use of the ancillary building to a
primary residential use, creating a new and additional residential
planning unit, will result in increased residential paraphernalia
and increased activity, harming the openness of the Green Belt.
Consequently, the proposal is inappropriate development within the
Green Belt. No very special circumstances exist that outweigh the
harm. The development constitutes inappropriate development in the
Green Belt. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies GB2A
& GB7A of the adopted Local Plan 1998 & 2006, Policy DM 4
of the Local Plan Submission Version 2017, and Paragraphs 133 &
150 (d & e) of the NPPF 2021.
2.
In the absence of a completed Section 106 planning
obligation the proposed development fails to mitigate against the
adverse impact that it will have on the Epping Forest Special Area
for Conservation in terms of recreational pressure and air
pollution. Failure to secure such mitigation is contrary to
policies CP1 and CP6 of the adopted Local Plan 1998 & 2006,
Policies DM2 and DM22 of the Local Plan Submission Version 2017,
Paragraph 180 of the NPPF 2021, and the requirements of the
Habitats Regulations 2017.
3.
The Local Planning Authority has identified matters
of concern within the officer's report and clearly set out the
reason(s) for refusal within the decision notice. The Local
Planning Authority is willing to provide post-application advice in
respect of any future application for a revised
development
