Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the open countryside
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would secure the provision of an off-site affordable housing contribution
What decided it
The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the open countryside through its increased height, larger footprint, domestic appearance, and loss of trees, which would not be justified by any significant benefits over the extant prior approval consent, and therefore conflicts with Policy SWDP2 and NPPF paragraphs 80 and 130.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SWDP2Policy SWDP1Policy SWDP21Policy P3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 80Paragraph 130Paragraph 134
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.
