Our village isn’t like that, sensible growth has been allowed but this isn’t sensible. Four houses in a back garden remove all privacy from the neighbours on three sides. It won’t hapien
It might though as this type of development is set out in the governments planning framework.... They have done at least a dozen or so houses in the local village and plan to do the pub car park... When a piece of legislation is set down by central government the grounds for objection become much harder and each LA MUST find suitable plots. Likewise Councils will automatically object to developments that are outside of the standard framework, as it can set a countywide president and even cause the LAs to be fined.
Money also plays a part if someone has the cash to throw at getting PP approved chances are it will work, again Councils have to justify why they spent £50k on a legal battle, if the impact of the development is less than the cost of objection then it will go through.
Not commenting if that's right or wrong but that is the way planning..... I know a reasonable amount about planning law, unfortunately not enough to get a nice little 5 acre development.
