Decision & conditions
731934Decision_Refusal_of_Planning_Permission_941.pdfPlanning conditions
- REASON FOR REFUSAL: The site is located in the Green Belt where there is a presumption against inappropriate development. It is the policy of the Local Planning Authority, as set out in the Development Plan and having regard to the NPPF not to grant planning permission except in very special circumstances, for new buildings other than for the purposes of agriculture and forestry, outdoor sports and recreation facilities, cemeteries and other uses which preserve the openness of the Green Belt and which do not conflict with the purposes of including land in it, for the limited extension, alteration or replacement of existing buildings and for limited infill in specified villages. Therefore the proposed extension constitutes inappropriate development which is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, there are no very special circumstances, which would justify the granting of planning permission for a single storey rear and side and first floor rear extension in the face of a strong presumption against inappropriate development derived from the prevailing policies. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy GP2 of the Rugby Local Plan 2011-2031, June 2019 and the NPPF.
