Decision: That planning permission be refused as per the officer’s recommendation for the following reasons:
- The proposal will have a significant detrimental visual and landscape impact on the surrounding countryside, which cannot be adequately mitigated by means of additional planting. It is considered that development on this site has a significant detrimental visual impact when viewed from the A458 public highway and surrounding public footpaths. As such the proposal is considered contrary to Policies CS5, CS6, and CS17 of the Shropshire Core Strategy, Policies MD2, MD7b and MD12 of the SAMDev and the overall aims and objectives of the NPPF in relationship to sustainable development.
- The proposal does not constitute farm business diversification, and it is considered that the significant detrimental visual and landscape impacts do not outweigh any economic benefits as a result of the development. As such the proposal is considered contrary to Policies CS5, CS13 and CS17 of the Shropshire Core Strategy and Policies MD2, MD7b and MD12 of the SAMDev and the overall aims and objectives of the NPPF in relationship to sustainable development.
