DECISION

         

REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS

 

1.     The proposal would comprise residential development of a greenfield site outside of the built up part of the settlement. The site is not allocated for development in the development plan and, although East Leake is identified as a key settlement for growth in Policy 3 of the Rushcliffe Core Strategy, the development would exceed the minimum target of houses to be provided in and around East Leake by over 150% when considered cumulatively with schemes already granted planning permission. This level of housing delivery for East Leake would be contrary to the Council's housing distribution strategy set out in Policy 3 and would lead to the unplanned expansion of development significantly beyond the established built edge of the village with resultant adverse impact on its rural setting and adverse impact on access to services.

 

2.     It has not been demonstrated that a suitable access to serve the new development can be provided or that the traffic generated by the proposed development would not result in an unacceptable increase in danger to the users of the highway due to the use of the access.  The proposal would therefore be contrary to the provisions of Policy GP2 of the Rushcliffe Borough Non-Statutory Replacement Local Plan, which states that planning permission for changes of use and new development will be granted provided that, inter alia;

 

b)    A suitable means of access can be provided to the development without detriment to the amenity of adjacent properties or highway safety, the provision of parking is in accordance with the guidance in the County Council's parking provisions for new developments and the design of the proposal accords with guidance produced by the Highway Authority
