9.11 Members debated the application on issues including: the sustainability of the site, the proximity of the listed buildings to the site, and the location of the access.
9.12 Councillor Sarah Mansel proposed refusal for the reason as follows:
1) A low to medium level of less than substantial harm to the setting of Hill House Grade II Listed is identified and the proposal falls to have sufficient information to demonstrate no harm. The application also fails to demonstrate that the public benefits of the development would outweigh this identified harm in line with the requirements of paragraph 196 of the NPPF. The application is therefore found to be contrary to the provisions of paragraphs 193 and 196 of the NPPF, Core Strategy policy CS5 and Saved Local Plan policy HB1.
2) The application site is located outside of the settlement boundary of Finningham nor an allocated site and would continue to be located outside of the settlement boundary of the village if considered under the provisions of the Joint Local Plan given limited weight. On this basis the application is not held to comply with the adopted Development Plan policies CS1, CS2, H7 and FC1.1 not held as out of date and engaging the tilted balance given the harm to the designated heritage asset and the provisions of the NPPF para 11.
9.13 Councillor Rowland Warboys seconded this motion.
