In pursuance of its powers under the above mentioned Act, the Isle of Wight Council as Local Planning Authority give notice of the decision made on 19.10.2021 to REFUSE Planning Permission in accordance with your application, plans and particulars which were received on 18th March 2020 for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development would cause significant harm to the landscape and visual qualities of the surrounding rural area and thereby compromise the Island's tourism industry. The economic benefits of the proposed development would not outweigh the harm to the integrity of the Island's landscape and Biosphere status. The proposal is therefore contrary to the requirements of policies SP4 (Tourism), SP5 (Environment), DM2 (Design Quality for New
Development) and DM12 (Landscape, Seascape, Biodiversity and Geodiversity) of the Island
Plan Core Strategy.
Notes to Applicant
1. Statement of proactive working
In accordance with paragraphs 186 and 187 of the NPPF, the Isle of Wight Minerals Planning Authority takes a positive approach to development proposals focused on solutions to secure sustainable developments that improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area. Where development proposals are considered to be sustainable, the Council aims to work proactively with applicants in the following way:
? The IWC offers a pre-application advice service
? Updates applicants/agents of any issues that may arise in the processing of their application and, where there is not a principle objection to the proposed development, suggest solutions where possible
In this instance the application was deficient in information relating to highway safety and required clarification in respect of ecology and noise and air quality issues. Additional information/ clarification was provided during the course of the application that overcame the Council's concerns for these particular issues.
