Conditions or Reasons for Planning Application - CB/19/02881/PIP
Conditions or Reasons:
1) The proposal to erect 9 dwellings in an unsustainable location, outside of any recognised settlement envelope boundary within the open countryside would constitute an inappropriate and unacceptable form of residential development with a reliance on the private car for future occupiers, contrary to policy NP1 of the Northill Neighbourhood Plan (2019), policies CS1 and DM4 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2009) and the principles of sustainable development as outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework (2019).
2) The proposal would extend residential development to the north of the existing built form of Lower Caldecote. By virtue of the potential scale and number of units together with the prominent location of the site it would appear as visually intrusive and would result in harm to the character and appearance of the area. As such, given the scale and nature of the proposed development and pattern of surrounding residential development, it is considered that the proposal would result in undue harm to the character and appearance of the area in conflict with policy NP6 of the Northill Neighbourhood Plan, DM3 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies and Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2019.
