Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including its effect on a designated Green Space
- the effect of the development on biodiversity
What decided it
The fact that two previous permissions had been granted for dwellings on the site with the same location, footprint and general scale meant that the proposed design changes would not have a significantly greater impact on the designated Green Space than the permission previously approved, justifying a decision contrary to the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SWDP21Policy SWDP38Policy SWDP22Policy SWDP 27
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.
