Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Appeal B: The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, 'Two Hoots', with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Both appeals: The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular regard to the proposed vehicular access
- Both appeals: The effect of the proposed development on Special Protection Areas (SPA), Ramsar Sites and Special Areas of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The absence of a planning obligation or other legal agreement to secure a RAMS payment to mitigate likely significant effects on the integrity of Special Protection Areas, Ramsar Sites and Special Areas of Conservation.
The limited social and economic benefits from the provision of an additional dwelling did not outweigh the harm caused by the failure to protect the integrity and special interest of the SACs, Ramsar Sites and SPAs, which are afforded statutory protection.
