Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: November 29, 2024

Purpose:

Content: To uphold the NoR and reverse the AO decision and grant FPP, on the grounds that more weight should be given to the applicant's disability (referred to in the Integrated Impact Assessment) than the impact of the proposed development in policy terms. On that basis, the application is supported as an acceptable departure from policies relating to the principle of new dwellinghouses in the countryside and, in addition, it is considered that the proposal would comply with Policies 14, 16, and 23 of NPF4. The consent would be subject to standard planning conditions appropriate to the development, including conditions for roads, drainage, water supply, and the area to the west to remain as a field and the site to be fenced off.
