Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, with particular regard to visual impact, privacy and daylight/sunlight
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would be unduly prominent and out of scale with its surroundings, intruding into the open countryside, and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of the occupiers of The Woodnut through visual dominance and loss of daylight and sunlight.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- OSS4EN3DHG7DHG3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
