Erection of 5 dwellings on land between Larkfleet Phase 1 and Main Road Barleythorpe with access from Phase 10.

(Ward: Oakham North West; Parish: Barleythorpe)

One deputation was received by Mr E Reynolds on behalf of the residents.  The right of reply was exercised by Mr M Mann on behalf of the applicant.

A detailed discussion took place during which Members raised their concerns regarding the development of an area of amenity open space which would be to the detriment of the character of the area and contrary to the approved Design Code for the Oakham North Urban Extension and Policy CS23 of the Rutland Core Strategy (2011).

RESOLVED

(2016/0428/FUL)  That contrary to the recommendations set out in the report, and the addendum to that report that this application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

• The proposal involves the development of an area of amenity open space provided as part of the outline planning permission for the Oakham North Urban Extension. The character overview of the Barleythorpe Edge Character Area in the approved Design Code states that the area is characterised by an informal contiguous and substantial landscape buffer created by (inter alia) Hawksmead Park and the allotment gardens. The approved documents for the development make it clear that this green edge should be retained between the development and Barleythorpe village and provide logical, linked green infrastructure. The proposal would thereby bring built development in closer proximity to existing dwellings in Barleythorpe, being detrimental to the character of the area and contrary to the approved Design Code for the Oakham North Urban Extension, Policy CS23 of the Rutland Core Strategy (2011) and Policies SP5 and SP15 of the Site Allocations and Polices DPD (2014)..
