- Little Vinnals Bungalow, Long Lane end of, to The Cottage Junction, Longden, Shrewsbury, SY5 8HF (15/04917/FUL) Erection of a holiday chalet to include change of use of land. Decision:
That, as per the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be refused for the following reason:
The principle of a holiday let in an isolated open countryside location accessed via a shared private shared lane is not considered to be acceptable. This proposed development would not be related to any existing tourism business at the site, would not involve the conversion of any existing suitable building, and would be in an isolated location within open countryside away from any settlements. The scheme is considered to represent a sporadic and unsustainable form of development which is detrimental to the character and setting of the surrounding open countryside. As such it is considered that the development is contrary to policies CS5, CS6, CS13,CS16 and CS17 of the Shropshire Core Strategy and policy MD11 of the adopted SAMDev (Shropshire Council Site Allocations and Management) Development Plan as well as the National Planning Policy Framework.
