DECISION

PERMISSION REFUSED contrary to officer recommendation

The proposed dwelling which included the felling of a mature Norwegian Acer fails to preserve or enhance the character of the designated conservation area. Furthermore the back land dwelling is considered be an inappropriate and unacceptable form  development within the designated conservation area, contrary to Policies SP2, SP12, SP16 and SP20 of the adopted Ryedale Plan Local Plan Strategy

Note:

Members wished to refuse permission contrary to officer recommendation after having fully considered the officer report and following extensive debate on the merits of the application.

In the exercise of its statutory discretion to determine planning applications in accord with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise, the Planning Committee weighed all the material considerations of this case in the decision making balance and reached a planning judgement that weighed in favour of refusal.
