Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed backland development would disrupt the prevailing linear pattern of development in the village and harm its character and appearance, contrary to Policy SDC1, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this harm.
The modest economic, social and environmental benefits of a single dwelling were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the village caused by backland development contrary to the established linear development pattern
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SDC1 (Sustainable Design)
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.
