Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of neighbours to the site
What decided it
The combination of the dwelling's incongruous design and set-back siting, together with the overbearing impact on the neighbouring property's living conditions, would cause harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of providing additional housing.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1 (design and Local Distinctiveness) of the East Devon Local PlanPolicy EB2 of the Exmouth Neighbourhood Plan
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.
