Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on green infrastructure
  • whether the development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
  • the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with respect to outlook and privacy
  • whether the development would reduce carbon dioxide emissions

What decided it

The significantly harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area, which conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole, outweighed the development's compliance with other policy objectives.

Framework references: 147

Plan policies cited: BCS21, DM26, DM21, DM27, DM29, DM15, DM17, DM19, BCS9, BCS6, BCS14, BCS13, BCS15
