For the following reasons the appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the erection of up to 25 dwellings, provision of open space and land for a new burial ground on land at Crabtree Farm, Hinckley Road, Barwell, Leicsin accordance with the terms of the application, No 18/00279/OUT, dated 15 March 2018, subject to the conditions set out in the attached schedule.

The development proposed was described on the application form as “demolition of single dwelling and erection of 12 dwellings with associated access road and landscaping has been dismissed.

The main issues are the effect of the proposed development on:
(a)the character and appearance of the area;
(b)flood risk and the provision of drainage;
(c)highway safety; and
(d)the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA).

The proposed development described on the application form as ‘redevelopment to provide up to 10 no dwellings and access’ has been dismissed.

the main issues are (i) the effect of the development proposed on landscape character, (ii) whether or not it has been demonstrated that access arrangements would be safe and suitable, and (iii) whether or not appropriate provision is made for affordable housing. In the event that I find that harm would result, I will then gauge whether any material considerations in favour of the proposal would nonetheless justify allowing the appeal.

The development proposed is described as a ‘change of use from agricultural land to residential use for construction of 10 detached dwellings with associated access, parking and gardens has been dismissed.

There are three main issues. These are a) the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area; b) whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for affordable housing; and c) whether the appeal site would be an appropriate location for new housing having regard to the development plan and sustainable patterns of new development.

The development proposed is described as ‘Residential development for up to 100 dwellings with all other matters except access reserved. The proposed development is within the designated HRN2 site earmarked for development as part of the northern expansion of Houghton Regis has been dismissed.

Given the above, the main issues are:

• The effect on the openness of the Green Belt.
• Highway safety.
• Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for the infrastructure
needed to support the development.
• Whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm,
is clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount
to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal.
