As per our previous observations (nos. 1-5) for clarity we will outline our observation via bullet points:
6. The consistency of application of the County Development Plan policies and objectives needs to be vastly improved. Our clients were refused planning permission for a glamping application whereas several very similar applications were granted. In specific circumstances as assesed against the current county development plan, two other succesful applications were inferior to my clients application. However these were in different parts of the county and were granted.
The fact that my clients applicaiton was refused on grounds whereby others in the county were granted is very frustrating for them, as well as expensive. There should be greater consistency which would lead to greater certainty for people before they undertake the costs associated with making a planning application.
