Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable standard of living accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to accessibility and adaptability

What decided it

The proposed development complies with the development plan taken as a whole, with no other considerations indicating a decision contrary to the development plan.

The benefits of housing delivery (net increase of three dwellings with associated social and economic benefits) were weighed against the character and appearance concerns, with the Inspector finding no harmful impact and that the development would be more in keeping with local character than the existing dwelling.
