20/00598/FP Land North of Oakleigh Farm, Codicote Road, Welwyn, Hertfordshire

12/02/2021 - 20/00598/FP Land North of Oakleigh Farm, Codicote Road, Welwyn, Hertfordshire

RESOLVED: That application 20/00598/FP be REFUSED planning permission for the following reason:

 

“The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt and causes harm to the openness of the Green Belt. In addition to the harm by reason of inappropriateness, other harm is identified in relation to one of the purposes of including land in the Green Belt and the impact on the character and appearance of the area. The harm by reason of inappropriateness, and the other harm identified, is not clearly outweighed by other material planning considerations such as to constitute the very special circumstances necessary to permit inappropriate development in the Green Belt.  The proposal does not comply with Policies 2 and 3 of the 1996 Adopted Local Plan; Policies SP1, SP2, SP5 and D1 of the Emerging Local Plan; and Sections 12 and 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework.”
