1.The proposed development is considered to constitute a waste development. Waste development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and in the absence of very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and other harm, the proposal is considered to be contrary to guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
2.The proposed access track, stationing of machinery and equipment, vehicle movements and on-site activity during the construction phase of the development together with the proposed extent of importation and re-profiling would result in significant harm to the visual amenities of the Green Belt and the local area. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to policy DC61 of the Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD; policy W5 of the Joint Waste DPD and guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Policy for Waste.
3.The proposed development would involve the importation of a significant amount of material and it is not considered that the applicant has satisfactorily demonstrated that the proposal involves the minimum quantity of material necessary. In the absence of an accepted need which justifies the development as essential, it is not considered that the development complies with policy W4 of the Joint Waste DPD, the waste hierarchy and guidance contained within the National Planning Policy for Waste.
4.Statement Required by Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015: Consideration was given to seeking amendments, but given conflict with adopted planning policy, notification of intended refusal and the reasons for it was given to the applicant via email on 28/07/2016.
