PDF 48 KBDecision:
That the reason for refusal be confirmed as:-
‘The proposal constitutes development in the open countryside outside a settlement boundary and would have unacceptable impact on the character of the countryside contrary to Policy GEN3 of the Flintshire Unitary Development Plan.’
Minutes:
The Committee considered the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) in respect of this application.
The Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) advised that the application had been refused at the 9th September 2015 meeting of the Committee against officer recommendation. Councillor Alison Halford, as the proposer, had been contacted to discuss the reasons for refusal and the wording in paragraph 6.01 of the report had been agreed. The Chief Officer added that the application was not for debating at this meeting and Members were only being asked to clarify the reason for refusal.
Councillor Gareth Roberts proposed the recommendation to confirm the reason for refusal detailed in the report which was duly seconded. He reiterated his comments at the meeting on 9th September 2015 about the Welsh Government owned site in Buckley which had not been brought forward for development and an appeal on an application in Northop Hall. He fully supported the wording that had been suggested.
RESOLVED:
That the reason for refusal be confirmed as:-
‘The proposal constitutes development in the open countryside outside a settlement boundary and would have unacceptable impact on the character of the countryside contrary to Policy GEN3 of the Flintshire Unitary Development Plan.’
