Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether adequate provision has been made for the delivery of SBCH in accordance with policy and legislative requirements
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the shortfall in suitable SBCH permissions, the statutory SBCH duty, and associated benefits outweighed the small, localised harm to character and appearance.
The small, localised harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan as a whole was outweighed by the substantial weight given to the shortfall in SBCH provision, the statutory SBCH duty, and identified economic and social benefits, such that the appeal was determined otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
