Proposal                   Conversion of existing workshop building to live/work unit, with associated landscape works and addition of open-sided outbuilding

Applicant                  Mr Andrew Brownsword

Decision Date                      30 October 2008                   Expiry Date: 30 October 2008

Decision                   REFUSE for the following reason(s):

 

 1 The application building is of limited size and the proposal would not provide residential accommodation offering an acceptable standard of amenity to its occupiers, contrary to Policies D2 and HG12 of the Bath and North East Somerset Local Plan (including minerals and waste policies) adopted 2007.

 

 2 The domestic element of the proposed use would be likely to result in domestic paraphernalia outside the building, which would detract from the character of this building as an agricultural building in the landscape, to the detriment of the setting of this listed building and the character and appearance of this part of the Kelston Conservation Area and of the Green Belt and the Cotswold area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, contrary to Policies BH2, BH6, GB1, GB2 and NE2  of the Bath and North East Somerset Local Plan (including minerals and waste policies) adopted 2007.

 

 3 The applicant has not demonstrated that reasonable efforts have been made to secure an appropriate business re-use of the building, contrary to policy ET9 and GB1 of the Bath and North East Somerset Local Plan (including minerals and waste policies) adopted 2007.

 

 4 The application site is located remote from services, employment opportunities and is poorly served by public transport, and the proposal is therefore contrary to the key aims of Planning Policy guidance Note No 13 and Policy T1 of the Bath and North East Somerset Local Plan (including minerals and waste policies) adopted 2007.

 

 5 The proposed outbuilding included in the proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Green belt, contrary to Policy GB1 of the Bath and North East Somerset Local Plan (including minerals and waste policies) adopted 2007.
