Hi, I am looking for some help and advice. I am currently going through the planning process of building an off grid cabin on my land. I have a large garden which scales onto a hill and it surrounded by a 4 foot tall hedge, all of which I own. My plan is to build the off grid cabin on flat ground underneath the hill; it is set back away from all the houses in the surrounding area and hidden behind my hedge. On approaching the planning commitee they have told me that my land 'lies out of the planning development area of the villiage'. There is development around this area of land so I am finding it hard to understand why this piece of land cannot be developed on. It is sheltered and building would not cause any major disturbance to local residents. Has anyone dealt with a similar problem and can offer some adivce? I would greatly appreciate it.

sorry i dont want to disclose the location just now hi just to let you know this was just going to be a yurt shape construction from planning [ It is considered the proposal would likely be refused as the property does not reinforce the existing pattern of development and the siting is unsuitable as it is outwith Conclusions I am unable to support the proposal for the reasons mentioned above. Any new development must demonstrate sensitive siting and reinforce the existing pattern of development as outlined in the Development Plan. I have concerns regarding the site as it is outwith the defined settlement boundary. The location is to the far north west of with a clear division between housing and open land/surrounding countryside. accommodation at this location would be contrary to the character and pattern of development in the area and does not comply with the requirements of the Development Plan. I consider that if the proposal was approved it would be detrimental to the area and could potentially Page 4 of 6 PLOCRESP set a precedent for future inappropriate development within the countryside surrounding settlement boundary.] was thinking trying for the 1974 caravan act
