Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, with particular regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's close proximity to existing built form and limited visibility in the wider landscape meant the development would appear as a modest, non-discordant extension to the settlement that would not adversely affect local distinctiveness, character or landscape setting.
