The Development Control Services Manager advised the Committee that his recommendation had now changed following the obtaining of further information regarding the interpretation of Annex ‘C’ of PPG3.  This confirmed that any farmyard did not become previously developed land, even when the current operation was not longer functioning.  On this basis, and taking into account the strategic housing requirement for SKDC, he could no longer support an approval for this market housing scheme.  It was proposed, seconded and agreed that the application be refused for the following reasons:-

1.      The proposed development consists of 12 dwellings and associated infrastructure on part of an underused farmyard on Broadgate Lane, Deeping St James.  The site contains agricultural buildings and is therefore to be classed as greenfield development in accordance with the definition in Annex ‘C’ of PPG3.  The site is within the wider built up area of The Deepings and is reasonably well related to the town centre and options for alternative means of transport exist in the area.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 620.
