Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 223 Woodhall Way
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would cause material harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with Policy ENV1 and paragraph 130 of the Framework, and this harm is not outweighed by the support for housing development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV1 of the East Riding Local Plan Strategy Document (2016)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12Paragraph 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.
