Retrospective change of use of agricultural building to storage and distribution (Use Class B8).

After a lengthy debate Members voted unanimously in favour of the refusing the application for the following reasons:

While the application had been submitted in isolation, the Council was of the view that the site needed to be considered as a whole given the highways implications and the impact on the Green Belt. Information regarding the use of the site as a whole had been requested from the applicant but this had not been provided and without it the Local Planning Authority could not be satisfied that the development, combined with the uses of the remainder of the site. in the same ownership, would not have a detrimental effect on these matters.

The proposal was therefore contrary to policies GB1, GB2 and TR5 of the South Bucks Local Plan and Core Policy 7 of the Core Strategy and also the relevant sections of the NPPF.

It was proposed by Councillor P Bass and seconded by Councillor S Chhokar.

            Resolved: that the application be refused for the reasons given above.
