E/10/0516/FUL - Full planning application for: Creation of family golf centre At: Land at Berhills Lane, Sells Green, SEEND, SN12 6RR Supporting documents: Minutes: The Committee received a presentation by the Area Development Manager which set out the main issues in respect of the application.

The following person spoke in favour of the proposal Mr John Easdon, Cole Easdon Consultants, the agent
On hearing the views of Cllr Jonathon Seed, as local Member, and after discussion,
Resolved:
To refuse planning permission for the following reasons:-
Traffic generated from this proposal would use a road (C242) which, by virtue of its inadequate width and alignment, is considered unsuitable to accommodate the increase in traffic resulting from this development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy PD1(B4) of the Kennet Local Plan 2011.
The site is located in the open countryside, not in or adjacent to a village. The Council considers that locating a golf centre here would conflict with national guidance in PPG 17 as it does not consider that there is any special justification for a facility of this nature to be located here. Furthermore, the Council is not satisfied that the facility will be of benefit to either the rural economy in the locality, or to the social well-being of the rural community in the locality. Accordingly, the proposal conflicts with policy NR6 of the Kennet Local Plan. The proposed development would have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of residents of nearby properties, by reason of increased disturbance created by the construction and use of the facility. This would conflict with policy PD1 of the Kennet Local Plan.

To grant planning permission, subject to the conditions set out below, for the following reason:-
The proposed development would enhance the appearance of this previously developed site in the area of outstanding natural beauty, and given the fact that the site is within an existing group of dwellings, and adjacent to a development of houses allowed on appeal, the Council considers that these other material considerations outweigh the planning policy objections raised to the development.
