ADDRESS: Keepers Cottage Common Lane
- APPLICATION NUMBER: 2025/0439
- PROPOSAL: Single-storey side extensions (following demolition of shed, garage and conservatory) with integral garage; single-storey rear extension with first floor rear roof terrace with metal balustrading (following part demolition of existing rear extension); single storey front porch extension (following demolition of existing porch); alterations to fenestration; removal of pool house (outbuilding) and rear swimming pool with proposed soft landscaping.
- CPC VERDICT: Objection With Reason.
[NB: The Reason cannot be copy/pasted from EBC’s website, but it did reference Policy DM 18].
- EBC VERDICT: Refuse Planning Permission
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which by definition is harmful to the Green Belt. Additional harm would also arise to the spatial openness of the Green Belt. Furthermore, sufficient VSCs do not exist to outweigh the identified harm to the Green Belt and any other harm. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to the aims and objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024) alongside Policy DM18 of the Development Management Plan (2015).
