The proposed development of a dwelling and a triple car detached garage would constitute inappropriate development within the Green Belt and is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. Such development is contrary to National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 87). In addition, the proposed development would also cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt because the site is currently open and the proposal would involve the construction of two substantial buildings. The potential harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and the substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt through the construction of new buildings, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations. In addition to the conflict with National Planning Policy Framework, the proposed development would be contrary to Policy EA1 of the South Tyneside Local Development Framework which seeks to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open.
The design of the proposed dwelling with dormer windows would be inappropriate. As such, the proposed development would be out of keeping with, and materially detrimental to, the appearance of the street scene of Follonsby Terrace, and contrary to the South Tyneside Local Development Framework Development Management Policy DM1 (A) and the guidance contained within SPD9: Householder Developments.
