EAST STAFFORDSHIRE BOROUGH COUNCIL in pursuance of powers under the above mentioned Act hereby REFUSES to permit:
Erection of a part single storey, part two storey, part three storey detached building to form administration and control building, erection of six detached and two linked aircraft hangars, with associated access, car parking, hardstanding and landscaping, Tatenhill Airfield, Newborough Road, Needwood, Staffordshire in accordance with the submitted documents and plans, for the reasons specified hereunder:
1 The proposed development, in particular hangars 5-8, is considered to be contrary to Local Plan Policy En1, in that, without adequate evidence to justify the need for a development of the scale proposed, it is not essential to the efficient working of the rural economy, is not appropriate in the countryside and nor does it provide facilities for the general public or local community which are readily accessible on foot or by public transport. Hangars 5-8 therefore constitute an unwarranted visual intrusion in the countryside contrary to Policies En1 and En16 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan, Policies D4 and NC1 of the Structure Plan, Policy NE1 of the Revised Deposit Local Plan and the provisions of PPS7: Sustainable Development in Rural Areas.
2 Insufficient information has been submitted with the application to enable the Local Planning Authority to fully assess the effects of the proposed development upon the ecology of the area, and therefore without this the proposal is contrary to East Staffordshire Local Plan Policies En13 and
En14, Structure Plan Policy NC8, and the provisions of PPS9: Biodiversity and Ecological Conservation.
3 The application does not include a Flood Risk Assessment as required by the Environment Agency and therefore the Local Planning Authority has not been able to make an informed decision on the proposal. The proposal may present a significant flood risk from the generation of surface water
run-off. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy En44 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan, policy NE29 of the Local Plan Review 2nd Deposit and National Planning Policy Guidance Note 25.
