Hartshorne Parish Council objects to the above planning application for the following reasons:-
1. Inconsistent with local plan and national planning requirements - A core principle of the NPPF is that planning should recognise the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside. South Derbyshire District Council's local plan has been recognised / promoted as being consistent with this principle. The proposed development would lead to an extension of the ribbon along this part of Manchester Lane, taking the development outside the envelope of this country village and would result in an harmful intrusion into the open countryside contrary to both the local plan and national policies.
2. Impact on national forest and natural environment - this proposed site is within the national forest area and would detrimentally impact on the natural habitats and wildlife in this location. Furthermore it would detrimentally impact on the views of the wider community and visitors who use a number of the national forest footpaths to the rear and sides of the proposed site.
3. Area of historic interest - the proposed development is in close proximity to a site of historic interest relating to the origins of the village name 'Hartshorne'.
4. Detrimental impact on current unobstructed views - in terms of the adjacent properties to the proposed development.
5. Impact on surrounding listed buildings - the proposed site detrimentally impacts on the protected views of both Manor Farmhouse and Hartshorne Parish Church which are both Grade II listed buildings. 6. Site access and egress - Manchester Lane is a narrow and winding country lane, with blind spots.
Furthermore near to the proposed site entrance there is no pavement for pedestrians; previous requests to Derbyshire County Council in this respect have been refused. There is also limited, poor street lighting. As holiday lets these properties will be occupied by visitors who will be totally unfamiliar with the locality and these associated hazards.
7. Lack of site management - the application suggests there is no on-site management, in terms of ensuring health and safety and other legislatory matters such as noise etc. are not breached.
Finally the Parish Council are also aware of the strong objections of the residents of Manchester Lane and support their objections.
