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.

Framework references: 80, 130, 134

Plan policies cited: Policy SWDP2, Policy SWDP1, Policy SWDP21, Policy P3
