Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The location of the proposed dwelling set significantly further back from Newton Road would be at odds with the neighbouring properties and the rural setting, causing harmful effects on character and appearance that outweighed any personal or amenity considerations.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the development was found to be harmful to character and appearance contrary to the development plan and NPPF, with no material considerations indicating it should be determined otherwise.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 8 d) i and ii of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031Policy EN1 of the Rushden Neighbourhood Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
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.
