Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, and taking into account the impact on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's proximity to the settlement boundary and existing housing, combined with the ability to design development consistent with the sparse, spacious local pattern, meant that up to four dwellings would represent an acceptable small extension to the village that could be assimilated without undue harm to character and appearance.
