Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chipping Sodbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The fallback position of permitted development rights under the GPDO, which would allow similar hardstanding to be carried out with less certainty and control over materials and appearance, constituted a material consideration that warranted departure from the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS9 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan Core StrategyPolicy PSP17 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Policies, Sites and Places Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202
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.
