RESOLVED

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

1.     The proposed development by way of its scale, layout and excessively large footprint for the development site would result in a visually discordant feature which would detract from the visual appearance of the surrounding area contrary to Policy PD1 of the adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017) and Community Objective 1 and Policies NP11 and NP12 of the adopted Darley Dales neighbourhood Plan (2020).

2.     Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed development would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using land-form, layout, building orientation, tree planting, massing and landscaping to reduce likely energy consumption and resilience to increased temperatures nor whether sustainable design and construction techniques (including flood resistance/resilient measures) have been sufficiently considered along with details promoting energy and water efficiency and the use of Page 2 of 7 24/00479/FUL renewable / low carbon energy within the development. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to Policy PD7 of the adopted Derbyshire Dales Local Plan (2017)

Note: The developer should be referred to climate change SPD if a resubmission should be pursued.
