PA19/07324 – Land North of Azure, St Merryn – The Parish Council objects to this application for the following reasons:- By setting aside the grassland area that came forward in the previous application for more dwellings, it is circumventing the rounding off policy by not completing the piece of land in its entirety, and thus keeping the proposal below 10 dwellings which would trigger the requirement for 40% on site housing. In addition a proposal in completion of the site by developing the whole site with the current density would make it more than 10 dwellings and would make the development a major development, thus making the proposal a major development in an AONB, of which the NPPF states there should be no major development in an AONB. For these reasons the Council does not support the proposal as a Policy 8 site under rounding off. It should be assessed as a Policy 9 rural exception site, thus providing on site affordable housing as the previous approved application provided. PA19/07984 – Land East of Rosemerrin, – Supported
