Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in an appropriate location for housing having regard to the settlement strategy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed bungalows would stand out as obvious and incongruous additions against the undeveloped rural character, extending the residential built form beyond Back Lane with an urbanising effect that would jar with the area's rural qualities, thereby conflicting with Policies S3, S5, HG5 and E1 of the Hambleton Local Plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S3Policy S5Policy HG5Policy E1
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.
