Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The principle of the proposed development with specific regard to its location
What decided it
The proposed backland location would be wholly uncharacteristic of the established linear pattern of development in Seaton Ross and would conflict with Policy S4 as it sits outside the development limit in the Countryside without meeting the limited circumstances for such development.
The limited benefits of housing supply from one dwelling were insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and the conflict with the development plan, particularly given the Council's demonstrated 10.4-year housing land supply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV1Policy S4Policy H4Policy S1Policy S2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 130Paragraph 134
