SDNP/19/05107/FUL Land at Farm Between Forest Mead and Stonefield Lynchmere Parish Council Haslemere Surrey - Demolition of 2 no. existing Parish outbuildings and the erection 2 no. self-contained holiday lets with associated parking and gardens and ancillary store. Case Officer: Charlotte Cranmer Written Representation

Appeal Decision: APPEAL DISMISSED “…The introduction of a residential use, with all of the domestic paraphernalia that goes with that, would interrupt the secluded and undeveloped appearance of the site and erode its rural character. … semi-detached suburban bungalows, at odds with its rural setting. … seen from surrounding land and in glimpsed views from the local footpath network. … reducing the tranquility and sense of remoteness … Visitors using the accommodation would reasonably expect to enjoy the surroundings, including the associated gardens, which would therefore need to have patios, outdoor seating and associated domestic equipment. … perceived as permanent dwellings. … graveled parking areas … further add to the domestication of the site. … appear suburban in nature and uncharacteristic of the vernacular buildings in this part of the National Park. … the agricultural appearance and use of the existing buildings are compatible with the character of the area … fail to conserve and enhance the landscape and natural beauty of the South Downs National Park. As a result of the harm to the landscape qualities of the National Park … strategic approach to the location of new development is supported by paragraph 79 of the Framework which advises that planning policies and decisions should avoid the development of isolated homes in the countryside … sustainable tourism, including visitor accommodation, subject to a number of criteria. … isolated location outside any settlement boundary as defined in the Plan. … erode its rural character and appearance … adverse impact on the landscape qualities of the National Park … isolated from facilities and services … almost all trips to and from the site are likely to be by private motor car. … The proposed development would not be associated with any established tourism use or wider farm diversification scheme. … location of the site would not be suitable for holiday accommodation … the amount of movements associated with two holiday lets would not in my view result in an unacceptable degree of disturbance to them. … no harm would be caused to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at Forest Mead or Stonefield … harm would be caused to the landscape and natural beauty of the South Downs National Park and that the site would be an unsuitable location for the development because of conflict with the spatial strategy of the South Downs Local Plan and the lack of accessibility. This harm outweighs the limited benefit to the landscape from the removal of the existing buildings on the site. …” 3. CURRENT APPEALS Reference/Procedure Proposal
