  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area

What decided it

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DEV20 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034 (2019)Plymouth and South West Devon Supplementary Planning Document (2020)
