Purpose

Following local ward member consultation. The
principle of development is in conflict with the development plan.
The proposed development would leave to the permanent loss of an
area of Ancient Woodland. The application has failed to assess the
biodiversity impact and appropriate mitigation and net gain. There
are no demonstrable significant public benefits that would outweigh
the loss. The scale of the development would result in a large
residential plot, failing to show sensitive layout and
siting.

Decision

Agreed (1) to hear request to speak, and (2)
to Refuse Full Planning Permission for the reasons stated in the
report
