Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to noise

What decided it

The discrete location of the site, screened by mature trees and only visible through a narrow access point, meant the dwelling would not appear incongruous despite differing from the surrounding pattern of development, and acoustic mitigation measures could feasibly provide suitable living conditions for future occupants.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy HE2Policy DES2
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 130Paragraph 12

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.
