Land off Park View, Broseley (14/01125/OUT)  Outline application to include access and layout (scale, appearance and landscaping reserved) for the residential development of six detached houses; formation of vehicular access and estate roads (amended description).

Decision:

That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

• The proposed development does not represent a sustainable form of development;
• The site is outside any defined development boundary;
• Would have a detrimental and visual impact upon the environment and character of the area; and
• This proposal would exacerbate the already significant traffic problems in the area.

Accordingly, the proposed development would be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Core Strategy policies CS5, CS6 and CS17 and Broseley Town Plan whereby the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.  In addition, greater weight can now be afforded to the emerging policies in the Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) documents.

Land south Of A458, off Oldbury Road, Bridgnorth (14/03768/OUT)  Outline planning permission for residential development, to include access.

Decision:

That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

The proposed development would have a detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the Oldbury Conservation Area and its setting through the erosion of the rural character of the north eastern approach to the village by built development on this site, and the loss of a visually prominent section of roadside hedgerow and trees. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Shropshire Core Strategy policies CS6 and CS17 and paragraphs 131, 135 and 138 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and these adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits in terms of the site contributing to the supply of housing land in Shropshire.  In addition, greater weight can now be afforded to the emerging policies in the Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) documents.
