Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would accord with the Council's development strategy for the location of housing, with regard to the character and appearance of the area including trees and refuse storage
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook
  • whether the proposal would accord with the Council's strategy for climate change

What decided it

The proposed building's excessive massing and height relative to the plot size and neighbouring dwellings would have an incongruous effect on the spacious character and appearance of the countryside area, conflicting with the development plan.
