RECOMMENDED DECISION Outline Application - Recommended for Refusal Summary of Recommendation The proposal for residential development is outside of the Settlement envelope of Arlesey and as such regarded as development in the open countryside and contrary to Policy DM4 of the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Document 2009. In addition, the proposed would result in the loss of a Gypsy & Traveller (G & T) site for which there is a clear need for. The proposal would have an impact on the character and appearance of the area which is considered to be significant and demonstrably harmful. The proposal would provide policy compliant affordable housing and provide for a provision of self build plots and over 55s accommodation with the whole scheme contributing to the Council’s 5 year housing supply as a deliverable site within the period. Financial contributions to offset local infrastructure impacts would be sought for education, leisure facilities and health facilities. However these benefits are not considered to outweigh the harm in terms of lack of policy compliance, the loss of a G & T site, nor its harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area.
