Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to built form and landscape character.

What decided it

The proposal was found to be in keeping with the character and appearance of the site, the village and the wider landscape, causing no material harm.

Finding no conflict with the development plan as a whole and no other material considerations indicating otherwise, the Inspector allowed the appeal without needing to resolve the disputed 5-year housing land supply position.
