Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is in a suitable location
- the effects on the living conditions of future occupiers
- the effects on biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal's cumulative conflict with development plan policies on location, living conditions and biodiversity was not outweighed by other considerations.
The other considerations, including personal circumstances and the benefits of the new dwelling, did not clearly outweigh the combined harm identified and conflict with the development plan.

- Policy GP35 (AVDLP)Policy GP8 (AVDLP)Policy S1 (VALP)Policy S2 (VALP)Policy D5 (VALP)Policy BE2 (VALP)Policy NE4 (VALP)Policy BE3 (VALP)Policy NE1 (VALP)
