Reasons for Decision

 

Whilst the proposed development does not strictly accord with the guidance as set out within the National Planning Policy Framework 2012 and the policies contained within the Replacement Local Plan (Certain Policies Saved 2008), I consider that there is a justification for the development in order for the development to be acceptable within this Green Belt location. I am satisfied that the proposed development of the site results in no undue impact on the Green Belt, neighbouring properties, highway safety or protected species.
