G1, EN1/G2, EN7/G5, in that it represents sporadic development in the
open countryside not required for agricultural purposes, a form of
development which would not be of a sustainable nature as it would
increase the need to travel by private car, and a form of development
which, in view of its commercial nature, would be harmful to the rural
character of the area. As the proposals do not represent sustainable
development, the development also conflicts with advice contained in
PPG1 and PPG13.
Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990.
That the development would be contrary to policies set out in the

building, they represent the erection of a new building in open
countryside, not required for agricultural or forestry purposes, and a
form of development which by virtue of its commercial nature, potential
traffic generation, the laying out of parking and turning areas and the
need to remove a substantial length of hedging to provide adequate
access vision splays, would substantially detract from the rural
character of this area which is situated within an Area of Great
Landscape Value. As the proposals do not represent the re-use of a
suitable rural building, the proposals are also contrary to the advice
contained in PPG7.
Reason: To ensure that the details of the development are satisfactory.
That the building shall not be occupied until the means of access
between the land and the highway has been formed, laid out and constructed
strictly in accordance with the specification of the means of access

undertaken strictly in accordance with the said specification.
Reason: In the interests of highway safety and convenience.
That the building shall not be occupied until space has been laid
out within the site for car parking and for vehicles to turn
so that they may enter and leave the site in forward gear, in
accordance with plan reference LNA/PO2/B accompanying the
application and such areas shall not thereafter be used for any
purpose other than that for which they are provided.
Reason: To comply with the Local Planning Authority's vehicle
parking standards and to protect local amenities.
That the means of access between the land and the highway be formed
with 2.4 metres by 160 metres vision splays in both directions.
Reason: To comply with the Local Planning Authority's vehicle
parking standards and to protect local amenities.
That the building shall be used only for the purpose specified in the
application and for no other purpose whatsoever.
Reason: To protect local amenities.
That the existing hedges along the north western and south eastern
boundaries of the site shall be retained and maintained at a
height of not less than 3 metres.
Reason: To protect local amenities.
That a scheme for the landscaping of the site, including the
replacement of hedging removed to provide the vision splays to the
access, the laying out of parking and turning areas, and the
planting of trees and shrubs shall be submitted to and approved
in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement
of the development hereby permitted. The scheme shall be implemented
as approved within 12 months of the commencement of the approved
development and thereafter be maintained. In the event of any
of the trees or other plants dying, they shall be replaced within
the following planting season and so maintained.
Reason: To help to assimilate the development into its surroundings.
That surface water shall not be disposed of other than in accordance
with a detailed surface water drainage scheme which shall first have
been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning
Authority.
Reason: In the interests of public health.

foul sewage has been submitted to and approved in writing by the
Local Planning Authority.

of the lighting, to be restricted to flat cut-off lights, shall first
have been agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
