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.
