Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, with particular regard to noise
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through its large scale, unusual appearance and visual obtrusiveness, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh this conflict.
The harm to character and appearance outweighed the benefits to the appellant's personal circumstances and health needs, with no material considerations sufficient to overcome the development plan conflict.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GD7
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.
