Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The propsoed use, by reason of the size of the property, number of bedrooms and guests about to stay, is considered to constitute a large holiday accommodation unit which is considered to be out of character with the quiet residential area and will result in adverse harm to the residential amenities of the occupiers of the existing dwellings due to the potential for anti-social behaviour and fear of crime, together with insufficient parking and an increase in general noise and disturbance. The proposal will not therefore contribute positively to the visitor economy of Cannock Chase and is contrary to Policy CP3 and CP9 of the Cannock Chase Local Plan and Paragraph 130 of the NPPF.
- The proposed use, due to the lack of a signed S106 legal agreement in respect of SAC mitigation, will result in adverse harm to the Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation (SAC) as a result of an increase in visitors to the area arising from the holiday accommodation. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP13 of the Cannock Chase Local Plan and the NPPF.
