Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for new residential development having regard to the development plan
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring residential property, Shandon, with particular regard to sunlight, daylight, and outlook

What decided it

The appeal site is garden land that does not fall within any exception to the presumption against garden land development in the development plan, and the Council has sufficient housing land supply, making the site an inappropriate location for residential development regardless of design quality or neighbour impact.
