    RESOLVED:

     

      1.  That planning permission be refused on the grounds that the proposed dwelling is considered to be inappropriate development on Metropolitan Open Land (MOL), that is also designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation and a local nature reserve. The proposed development fails to protect the openness of the MOL and does not provide a building that supports the open space use, nor protect the nature conservation interest of the site.

     

    As such it is contrary to:

     

    ·  Chapter 8 Promoting Healthy and Safe Communities and Chapter 13 Protecting Green Belt Land of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF);

    ·  Policies G3 Metropolitan Open Land and G6 Biodiversity and Access to Nature of the London Plan 2021;

    ·  Policy P57 Open Space, and P60 Biodiversity of the Southwark Plan 2022.

     

      2.  In the absence of a legal agreement to secure the proposed new house as a self-build dwelling, the development fails to comply with Policy P1 Social and Intermediate Housing and also without a contribution to provide planting around the site, fails to comply with Policy P60 Biodiversity of the Southwark Plan 2022.
