As the applicant has advised that it is their intention to resubmit their application (WD/2019/1994/MAO) into Wealden District Council in the coming weeks to establish if they could overcome/mitigate their reasons for refusal:
Reasons for Refusal:
The proposed access provides vehicular and pedestrian access to an existing farm, and in and of itself would appear to be an overly engineered access for farm use. Notwithstanding this planning permission for the development of the fields to the north has been refused and therefore the impacts and mitigation of the access in particular and the wider application in general cannot be assessed.
.
2. If such an application is received then the Head of Planning will defer issuing the refusal notice and bring the case back to Planning Committee with the update of the Wealden District Council consideration of the revised application.
