Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposal accords with planning policy on the location of housing
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surroundings, with particular regard to the effect on the landscape and the setting of the AONB and Listed Building
- Whether the personal circumstances of the Appellant are a material consideration which would justify the development being determined other than in accordance with the Local Plan
What decided it
The personal circumstances of the Appellant, representing a significant consideration in favour of the appeal, outweighed the identified conflict with Local Plan policy when balanced against the absence of harm to character and appearance and the unjustified impact on the health and wellbeing of the elderly family member that would result from removal.
