Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its unduly prominent and incongruous siting on the grass verge, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that suitable alternative sites had been adequately explored.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
CP3BE1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 117
