Decision details

RESOLVED:

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1.  The proposed redevelopment for 3 dwellings would not provide a sustainable site for further housing in terms of its access to everyday facilities and a reliance on the private car. The proposal is therefore country to Policies SP 1 and SP 2 of the Core Strategy and would conflict with paragraphs 11 and 102 of the NPPF.

2.  The proposal to demolish an existing dwelling and replace it with 3 dwellings does not fall within any of the listed acceptable in principle forms of development in secondary villages, which are identified in Policy SP4 a) and therefore the proposal fails to accord with Policy SP4 of the Core Strategy.

3.  The proposed development fails to preserve and enhance the character of the local area on account of the increased built form and increased density. The proposal is regarded as an over development of the site and contrary to Policy ENV1 (1) and (4), of the Selby District Local Plan, Policy SP 4 c) and d) and SP19 of Core Strategy, national policy contained within the NPPF and the Stutton Village Design Statement (Feb 2012).
