Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Condition 6 is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the living conditions of occupiers of Anvil Oaks, School Road with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The tapered boundary alignment and removal of the existing hedge would result in activity in very close proximity to the boundary with Anvil Oaks, causing a loss of privacy to its occupiers that cannot be adequately mitigated.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DC 1 (Design Considerations) of the Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan (2020)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
