The
proposed development has not been demonstrated as necessary for the
purposes of agriculture within this unit and therefore constitutes
inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt. No very
special circumstances exist to outweigh this, or any other harm,
and therefore the proposal is contrary to policies GB2A and GB11 of
the adopted Local Plan and Alterations, policy DM 4 of the
Submission Version Local Plan (2017), and the guidance contained
within the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
|
2
|
The
scale, location and visual impact from the proposed new building
would be harmful to the character and appearance of the wider
landscape, since insufficient justification has been provided as to
the need for the building. As such, the proposal contrary to
policies CP2, GB7A and DBE1 of the adopted Local Plan and
Alterations, policy DM 9 of the Submission Version Local Plan
(2017), and the guidance contained within the National Planning
Policy Framework.
|
|

|
The
extent of hardstanding proposed is out of scale with the proposed
building and would constitute inappropriate development within the
Green Belt, resulting in visual harm to this rural setting,
contrary to policies CP2, GB2A and GB7A of the adopted Local Plan
and Alterations, policy DM 9 of the Submission Version Local Plan
(2017), and the guidance contained within the National Planning
Policy Framework.
|
|

|
No
clear justification has been provided that a proposed development
of this scale would relate to activities within this site, which
could result in detrimental impacts regarding traffic movements,
and noise and disturbance to surrounding residents, contrary to
policies CP2, DBE9, ST1 and ST4 of the adopted Local Plan and
Alterations, policy SP 1, DM 9 and T 1 of the Submission Version
Local Plan (2017), and the guidance contained within the National
Planning Policy Framework.

The
proposal has not sufficiently demonstrated that the existing
building is suitable for conversion and therefore the proposal
constitutes inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt. No
very special circumstances exist that clearly outweigh this, or any
other harm, and therefore the proposal is contrary to policies GB2A
and GB9A of the adopted Local Plan and Alterations, policies SP 6
and DM 4 of the Submission Version Local Plan (2017), and the
guidance contained within the National Planning Policy
Framework.
|
|
2
|
The
proposed incursion of residential curtilage into the undeveloped
Green Belt would result in a loss of openess, and further urbanisation and encroachment
into the Countryside and as such constitutes inappropriate
development harmful to the Green Belt and the character of this
rural area. No very special circumstances exist that clearly
outweigh this, or any other harm, and therefore the proposal is
contrary to policies GB2A and GB9A of the adopted Local Plan and
Alterations, policies SP 6 and DM 4 of the Submission Version Local
Plan (2017), and the guidance contained within the National
Planning Policy Framework.
|
|

|
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 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.
