Pursuant to Part 4, Section 7 of the Council’s Constitution in relation to public rights of participation in planning applications, the Chairman allowed the following to give a 5 minute presentation:

 

·         Cllr. Mike Shirley – Ward Councillor, and Chairman of Sharnford Parish Council

·         Chris Howard – Objector

·         Ronan Donohoe – Agent

 

 

DECISION

 

THAT APPLICATION 24/0834/OUT BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON:

 

The application proposes the development of up to 98 dwellings in the countryside on the edge of Sharnford, which is designated as a ‘smaller village’ in the Blaby District Local Plan (Core Strategy) 2013 and where Policy CS5 provides for only modest levels of growth commensurate with its size, services and facilities.  Sharnford has a limited range of services and facilities and limited opportunities for accessibility to nearby settlements by non-car modes.  Future residents of the development would therefore be reliant on the private car to meet their day-to-day needs, resulting in an increased requirement in the village for travel by unsustainable transport modes.  Sharnford is not therefore considered to be a sustainable location for accommodating this scale of development and the proposals would therefore be contrary to policies CS1, CS5, CS10 and CS18 of the Blaby Local Plan (Core Strategy 2013) and to paragraphs 109 and 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

 

 

The Chairman, Cllr. Neil Wright adjourned the meeting at 18:10 to allow a comfort break. The meeting reconvened at 18:15.
