Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
the effect of the development on the setting of The Oasthouse, Lower Almonry Farm
the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of The Oasthouse, Lower Almonry Farm, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development would accord with the development plan when taken as a whole, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be otherwise.

The change in the point at which residential character transitions along Tollgates was balanced against the more coherent approach to the new estate, resulting in a neutral overall effect on appearance.
