This development would result in the creation of a residential property in an area remote from services and facilities where residential dwellings are unusual. The submitted design would introduce large amounts of glazing into an otherwise simple building and would also likely serve to introduce an area of domestic use and paraphernalia immediately surrounding the building. This would alter the appearance of the building and immediate area and character in a detrimental manner and would fail to achieve the aims of paragraph 127 of the NPPF and GP01, CL2 of the Local Plan and CS05 of the Core Strat. Furthermore, it fails to meet the criteria of Para 79 of NPPF that seeks the avoidance of isolated homes unless “the development would re-use redundant or disused buildings and enhance its immediate setting”. As it is not considered that this proposal would result in enhancement of its immediate setting given the intrusive residential/domestic use that is detrimental to the rural character the proposal is contrary to Para 79. 2) Notwithstanding the above, the proposal has not demonstrated the building to be capable of being converted into a new dwelling without being tantamount to being a new dwelling in the countryside. On this basis the development is considered to be an isolated new dwelling in the countryside contrary to Local Plan Policy H7, Core Strat CS1, CS2 and CS5 and furthermore this would be contrary to sustainable development principles including Para 79 outlined within the NPPF VotingCouncillorVote James Caston For Peter Gould For Kathie Guthrie For Andrew Mellen For Richard Meyer For Andrew Stringer For Rowland Warboys For Navigation: Democratic Services Home Babergh District Councillors Mid Suffolk District Councillors Find Your Councillor Babergh District Council Calendar Mid Suffolk District Council Calendar Joint Meetings Calendar Babergh District Council Constitution Mid Suffolk District Council Constitution Committees Decisions ePetitions Library Meetings Outside bodies Parish Councils Search documents Subscribe to updates MPs What's New Go to Babergh District Council main public website Go to Mid Suffolk District Council main public website
