OUTLINE: ERECTION OF DETACHED DWELLING WITH PROVISION OF TWO PARKING SPACES AND NEW VEHICULAR ACCESS.Mr G Spooner

DECISION: REFUSE (OUTLINE PLANNING)1. The site is within the countryside outside any town or village as defined in the

Rother District Local Plan (Revised Deposit). Policies S1, S10 and S11 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policies HG10, DS1 and DS4 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) contain a strong presumption against residential development unless it meets one of the exceptions described in the plans. The proposed dwelling is not required for the needs of agriculture or forestry and it has not been demonstrated

10

to the Local Planning Authority that it is essential for the running of an enterprise upon which there is clear evidence of a firm intention and ability to develop that has been planned on a sound financial basis. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to these policies.

2. The site lies within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where Policies S1 (j), EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 indicate that development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the proposal does not meet this objective, and it would cause harm to the rural character of the area.

3. The proposal would lead to an increased traffic hazard on the C96 (Netherfield Hill) by reason of the inadequate visibility at the proposed access. The proposal is contrary to Policy S1(d) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1(iii) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

Mr and Mrs Dowse

DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)1. The new garage would be sited in a visually prominent position in front of the

dwellinghouse, which would be obtrusive and detrimental to the visual amenities of this tree lined street scene. Such development is likely to set an undesirable precedent for similar development in the locality which would be in conflict with the requirements of Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003)

OUTLINE: DEMOLITION OF EXISTING COTTAGE AND OUTBUILDING. ERECTION OF THREE DWELLINGS SERVED VIA NEW ACCESS ROADMr P Southcott

DECISION: REFUSE (OUTLINE PLANNING)1. Whilst the site is within a development boundary as defined in the Rother District

Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) it is considered that the proposal conflicts with Policy GD1 of the Plan in that the scale form and character of the development would not be compatible with the adjacent surrounding area. In particular the development would detract from the character and appearance of the locality and would be out of keeping with and unreasonably harm the amenities of adjoining properties.

2. The site lies within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where Policies S1(J), EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 indicate that development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the proposal does not meet this objective and it would cause harm to the rural character of the area.

3. The proposed development, if permitted would be likely to encourage similar proposals in the vicinity and would be contrary to Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.

Reason: To enable the Local Planning authority to regulate and control the development of the land in accordance with government Advice in Planning Policy Guidance Note 8 and Policy EN30 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.

2. This planning permission does not authorise any interference with animals, birds, marine life, plants, fauna and habitats in contravention of the requirements of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and other legislation.

DECISION: REFUSE (OUTLINE PLANNING) DELEGATED (FOR RECEIPT OF COMMENTS FROM OUTSTANDING CONSULTEES)1. The site is within the countryside outside any town or village as defined in the

Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003). Policies S1, S10 and H5 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and DS3, DS4 and HG10 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit

21

(November 2003) contain a strong presumption against residential development in the countryside unless it meets one of the exceptions described in the plans. None of these apply and the development is contrary to these policies.

2. In exceptional circumstances, planning permission may be granted for residential development outside development boundaries in order to meet a local housing need among those people unable to compete in the normal housing market. Proposals for development will be considered in the context of several criteria. The proposal does not meet those criteria, and therefore the development conflicts with Policies HG2 and HG10 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

3. The proposed shop with post office and doctors’ surgery would be contrary to Policies S1 and S10 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policies DS3 and DS4 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003). They would also not meet the additional criteria for permitting such facilities outside development boundaries contained in Policy CF1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

4. The site lies within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where Policies S1(j), EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011, Policy GD1(v) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003) and Government Advice contained in PPS7: Sustainable Development in Rural Areas indicate that development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the proposal does not meet this objective, and it would cause harm to the rural character of the area.

5. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority, in conjunction with the Highways Agency, that visibility at the proposed access point/s onto the A259 Trunk Road would be adequate to serve the development proposed. Furthermore, the proposed access/s and pelican crossing would need to be subject to a safety audit before they could be properly considered. For these reasons the proposal would be contrary to Policy S1(d) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

DECISION: REFUSE (OUTLINE PLANNING) DELEGATED (RECEIPT OF ENVIRONMENT AGENCY COMMENTS)1. Whilst the site lies within an existing village, it is considered that the proposed

conflicts with S8 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 in that it would be out of character with existing development in the vicinity.

2. Whilst the site is within a development boundary as defined in the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003), it is considered the proposal conflicts with Policy GD1(4), by virtue of its position within the site.

DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING) DELEGATED (EXPIRY OF CONSULTATION PERIOD)1. The application site is not adjacent or closely related to a village or settlement,

and the proposed use is not consistent with planning policies, which seek to promote sustainable development. The development proposal is not consistent with Government Planning Policies in PPS 7 and Policy LT 2 (c) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.

2. The scale of the use and the associated operational development would hava a significant detrimental impact on the rural area including traffic generation, and harm to the character and appearance of the designated High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The development conflicts with Policies S1 (d) (j), S10 (b) (ii), S11 (a) (c) (d), EN1, EN2, EN3 and LT1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011.

3. The design details of the conversion are domestic in character, and the proposal does not conserve the agriculture character and appearance of the building.

4. The proposal would lead to increased traffic hazards on the C213 (Sheepstreet Lane) by reason of the inadequate visibility at the proposed access. The development is contrary to Policy S1 (d) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1(iii) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

DECISIONS:RR/2004/2781/P: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING)

1. The proposed development would result in an over development of the site by virtue of the increased number of dwellings and additional car parking on the site which would be out of character with and detrimental to the listed building and its setting and would be contrary to Policy S1(m) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and GD1(viii) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

2. The proposed subdivision and alteration of the school building to provide four additional dwellings would have an adverse impact on the architectural and historic character of the listed building and its setting by virtue of

The proposal would be contrary to Policy S1(m) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011. and GD1(viii) of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003)

3. The proposed development does not provide satisfactory car parking for the site and is likely to result in overflow of car parking for residents and visitors on Church Street which would result in traffic hazard to users of Church Street. The proposal would be contrary to Policy S1 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy GD1 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

RR/2004/2782/L: REFUSE (LISTED BUILDING)1. The proposed subdivision and alteration of the school building to provide four

ALTERATIONS TO AN EXISTING ACCESS AND FORMATION OF A NEW VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.Mr S Catt

DECISION: REFUSE (FULL PLANNING) 1. Part of the site is within the countryside outside any town or village as defined in

the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003). Policies S1, S10 and S11 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 contains a strong presumption against residential development unless it meets one of the exceptions described in the Plan. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority that the proposed residential development is essential for the needs of an enterprise that must be in a rural location. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to those policies.

2. Part of the proposed development site lies outside of the Development Boundary for the village of Pett as defined within the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003). No compelling justification for such a location has been demonstrated, the proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policy HG10 of the Rother District Local Plan: Revised Deposit (November 2003).

3. The site lies within the High Weald High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where Policies EN1, EN2 and EN3 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and government advice in PPS7 indicate that development will be carefully controlled to protect the character of the area. It is considered that the proposal does not meet this objective and it would have a harmful effect on the rural character of the area.

4. The approach road Pannel Lane (UC6418) is unsuitable to serve the proposed development by reason of its narrow width, poor alignment and lack of footways.
