Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would have an acceptable relationship with the character and appearance of the area and would comply with Policy 8 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (2016), with the extant outline planning permission providing a strong fallback position.
The benefits of allowing the appeal were weighed against the concerns raised regarding character and appearance, with the Inspector concluding that the proposal would positively respond to the immediate and wider built environment and that the extant outline permission represented a strong fallback position, tipping the balance in favour of allowing the appeal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 8 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (2016)
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.
