Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to amenity space
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the safe and efficient operation of the highway network

What decided it

The proposed development would adversely affect the character and appearance of the area through its visually prominent form, bulk and height that would be incongruous with the rural character, combined with inadequate private amenity space for future occupiers and unresolved highway safety concerns regarding bin collection and refuse vehicle access.

Plan policies cited: Policy H/16, Policy HQ/1, Policy NH/8, Policy TI/3
