Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for housing, having regard to local and national policies
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby properties, with particular regard to privacy and light
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

Plot 1 qualifies as acceptable infill development located between existing built form and the highway, whereas Plot 2 would appear as an extension into open countryside and therefore conflicts with the development plan's infill policy.
