RESOLVED
That planning application 2024/0406/OUT be REFUSED
contrary to the Officer’s recommendation for the same reasons
as previously given, these being that the proposed development
would result in the loss of agricultural land (with its attendant economic
benefits), which is a finite
resource. The proposed development is close to a pig farm on Watery
Lane. The newly provided information submitted regarding odour and
noise from the pig farm did not provide reassurance that the
residential amenity of the residents of the new homes would be
acceptable and would lead to complaints which may force the pig
farm to close. Policies DP7 and DP8 stating that developments must
provide a satisfactory environment for housing had not been
demonstrated. It was concluded that harms as identified would
outweigh the benefits of the application scheme which were
highlighted by the presenting officer.
