Cottage rebuild rejected 

Plans to rebuild a ruin into a four bedroomed home in prominent sensitive location within the green belt have been turned down by planning officers at High Peak Borough Council. 

The application was to rebuild what was known as Cobsters Cottage, accessed from Watford Lane in New Mills within the current footprint of the property using the same materials and style. 

However, the proposals are seen as a new build within the greenbelt by planners who stated it did not fall within any of the exceptions that would allow its development. 

The decision notice stated that the development didn’t meet the criteria for development outside the built-up area boundary. 

Irrespective of the design the very siting of a large two storey dwelling and associated hardstanding in this highly prominent sensitive location would result in significant harm to the open rural landscape character, 

The applicant had also failed to submit a heritage assessment or archaeological survey. 

Extension plans rejected 

Plans to extend a property in Chinley by more than 50 per cent have been rejected by High Peak Planners. 

The proposed changes to 10 Forge Corner, Outram Way in Chinley were for a new two storey front and side extension that would have increased the floorspace of the property by almost 100 per cent. 

The application was turned down as its scale, mass, height, design and visual appearance of the development failed to respect the character and appearance of the original dwelling and would be visually dominant and intrusive within the street scene.
