Decision details

RESOLVED: That application 21/00765/OP be REFUSED planning permission for the following reasons:

a)    The site, if developed, would fail to provide adequate opportunity for travel by residents and visitors by non-car transport modes and would therefore be contrary to paragraphs 110, 115 and 116 of the NPPF and adopted North Hertfordshire Local Plan policy SP9.

b)    The site was not an allocated housing site within the adopted North Hertfordshire Local Plan and was located outside the settlement boundary of Royston and within the rural area beyond the Green Belt. It was therefore in conflict with policies SP5 and CGB1 of the adopted North Hertfordshire Local Plan.
