Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 1208
Received: 01/10/2013
Respondent: Strutt & Parker LLP
Representation Summary:
With regards to residential, part (f) this policy is inconsistent with the National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 55). The NPPF confirms that new isolated homes in the countryside are acceptable if they would re-use redundant or disused buildings and lead to an enhancement of the immediate setting. There is no such requirement for marketing exercises to be completed and the building need not form part of a group of buildings. This is evident by the reference to "new isolated homes" which sets the context for paragraph 55. This policy should be amended to be consistent with the NPPF.
