the AONB. Accordingly it is recommended that if permission is forthcoming a condition be
imposed to retain the existing boundary planting and also for a landscaping scheme to
enhance this planting.
The Parish Council refers to the area to the north of the site which is outside of the
application site and shown as ‘blue’ land or land within the applicant’s ownership. This has
been labelled as ‘paddock’ on the plans but the Parish Council states this is agricultural land
and was cultivated until approximately a year ago and therefore a change of use is required.
As this field does not form part of the application site its use is not for consideration as part
of the determination of this application. However, the Parish Council are correct in stating
that the use of land as a paddock would require a change of use application which would be
considered on its own merits.
One representation has been received from a local resident who supports the application.
Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 requires Local Authorities to consider the
implications for crime and disorder in the carrying out of their duties. The application before
the Board will not have a material impact upon crime and disorder.
CONCLUSION
The principle of a replacing the existing dwelling is considered to be acceptable and in this
case the proposal would not have any significantly detrimental impact on the character or
appearance of the AONB or cause any significant harm to residential amenity or highway
safety. Conditionally there are no outstanding landscaping issues. As a result the proposal
complies with the provisions of PPS1, PPS3, PPS7 and PPG13, Regional Policy SS1 and
ENV2 and Core Strategy Policy CS06. It is therefore recommended that planning permission
be approved subject to conditions.
