Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular reference to backland development
  • whether the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be vulnerable with respect to crime and security

What decided it

The appeal site does not constitute a backland site as defined by policy because it has direct independent access from the turning head rather than limited access through surrounding development, and the proposed dwelling would not harm character and appearance or create undue crime and security risks.
