Decisions made by North planning committee on 17 May 2016

The following decisions were made by Shropshire Council’s North planning committee at its meeting at Shirehall, Shrewsbury on Tuesday 17 May 2016.

• Land south of Old Mapsis Way, Morda (15/04152/REM) Approval of Reserved Matters (layout, appearance and landscaping) pursuant to permission 13/03846/OUT for the erection of 10 no. single storey dwellings; formation of parking and vehicular access. Decision: That planning permission be granted in accordance with the officer’s recommendation, subject to:
• The conditions set out in Appendix 1;
  • An additional condition in relation to the different site levels; and

  The rewording of Condition 3 in relation the future maintenance of the landscaped areas.

• 3 Sunnybank, Church Lane, Ash Magna, SY13 4DS (16/00219/FUL) Erection of a two storey side extension and a single storey rear extension. Decision:That planning permission be refused contrary to the officer’s recommendation for the following reason: Members considered the proposal to be overdevelopment of the site, noting that the scale and design of the proposed development would have an adverse impact on the local street scene and an overbearing effect on the residential amenity and character of the neighbouring property. As such the proposal is contrary to Policy CS6 of the Shropshire Core Strategy and Policy MD2 of the Shropshire Site Allocations and Management of Development.The proposed development is located within an area defined as open countryside for planning policy purposes and accordingly would lead to extending the settlement and would therefore undermine the “rural rebalance” approach to development contrary to the requirements of the adopted planning policies CS4, CS5 of the Shropshire Core Strategy and MD7a and S11.2(xi) of the Shropshire Site Allocations and Management of Development.
• Land north of Glencott, Longslow, Market Drayton (16/00661/OUT) Outline application for the erection of an open market dwelling to include access. Decision:That planning permission be refused in accordance with the officer’s recommendation for the following reasons:
  1. The proposed development is located within an area defined as open countryside for planning policy purposes and accordingly would lead to extending the settlement and would therefore undermine the “rural rebalance” approach to development contrary to the requirements of the adopted planning policies CS4, CS5 of the Shropshire Core Strategy and MD7a and S11.2(xi) of the Shropshire Site Allocations and Management of Development.
  2. Furthermore the development of the proposed site would be set further back from the road than the existing dwellings in Longslow and as such the development of this site would be out of context with the existing built form in the settlement contrary to the requirements of policy CS6 of the Shropshire Core Strategy and MD2 of the Shropshire Site Allocations and Management of Development.
• Spoonley Farm, Spoonley, Market Drayton, TF9 3SR (16/01334/FUL) Erection of stable building. Decision: That planning permission be granted in accordance with the officer’s recommendation, subject to the conditions set out in Appendix 1.
