Recommendation Refusal<br />

Consultations/Representations:<br />

Parish / Town<br />

For the following reasons:<br />

1. Policy B15 of the <strong>Stroud</strong> <strong>District</strong> Plan Revised Deposit Version (as<br />

amended June 2001) states that the re-use and adaptation of buildings in<br />

rural areas to alternative uses will only be permitted if the buildings are of<br />

substantial, sound and permanent construction and are capable of re-use<br />

and adaptation without major or complete reconstruction. In this instance,<br />

the building that is the subject of this application is roofed in corrugated<br />

metal and as such does not meet the requirements of the above<br />

mentioned policy.<br />

2. Policy B16 of the <strong>Stroud</strong> <strong>District</strong> Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as<br />

amended June 2001) states that the adaptation and re-use of a building<br />

in a rural area for residential use will not be permitted unless every<br />

reasonable attempt has been made to secure a suitable employment or<br />

community re-use. In this instance it is considered that the applicant has<br />

failed to demonstrate that the requirements of this policy have been met.<br />

3. The site is located remote from amenities, facilities and services and is<br />

not served by adequate footpaths, cycleways, or public transport facilities<br />

and the development would be likely to increase reliance on the private<br />

car contrary to national <strong>Planning</strong> Policy and Policy T1 of the <strong>Stroud</strong><br />

<strong>District</strong> Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001).<br />

Support:<br />

The proposal will protect a building which adds to the specific character of Tresham, which might<br />

otherwise decay to the point that it is lost. However, the <strong>Council</strong> does have a concern about the<br />

parking provision, in that the parking space described has a very severe slope (1 in 3), so might<br />

prove to be unusable. Tresham has poor street parking provision, so the <strong>Council</strong> feel that<br />

development should not be allowed to increase this problem.<br />
