Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for development of this type, having regard to local and national planning policy and guidance
What decided it
The proposal could be accommodated on the former golf course land, controlled by conditions and reserved matters, without unacceptable harm to character, appearance, highway safety, ecology or PRoW, resulting in compliance with the development plan and Framework as a whole.
A low level of harm to tranquillity was identified but was set against potential visual enhancements from proposed landscaping, with no overall conflict found with the development plan or Framework, so no tilted balance was required.
