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.
