Decision:                                Refused

 

Noting comments made during the public speaking session from: -

 

            Mr M Garwood – applicant

 

together with no objection from the Parish Council, comments from the Highway Authority and detailed submissions in support from the applicant, for the following reasons:

 

1.         The proposal involves the erection of a dwelling on a plot of land adjacent to Ancaster Service Station.  Planning permission was refused for a dwelling in this location under application no S99/0013/02 (subsequently dismissed at appeal on 22 November 1999) and, more recently, under application S05/0094/02 on 23 March 2005.  Policy 7A of the Alteration No 1 to the Lincolnshire Structure Plan, Policy H10 of the South Kesteven Local Plan and National Planning Guidance offered in PPS7 state that new residential development in the open countryside will not normally be permitted unless there is an essential need in relation to agriculture/forestry.  No such justification exists with regard to this application.  Such a proposal would, therefore, be contrary to national established settlements and protect the countryside from sporadic development.  A bungalow exists to the south of the service station, which has previously been occupied in association with the garage.

 

2.         The proposed site is in an area that is devoid of any essential services and is considered to be a location that cannot sustain any such development without the need for future occupants to rely on the use of the motor vehicle.  It is not, therefore, considered to be a sustainable location for further development and the proposal would be contrary to national planning guidance contained in RPG8 - Regional & Spatial Strategy (2002), PPS7 - Sustainable Development in Rural Areas (2004), PPG3 - Housing (2000), PPG13 - Transport (2001) and Policies S1, S2 and S4 of the Lincolnshire Structure Plan Draft Deposit (2004).
