Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of nos. 11 and 13 Quemerford, with respect to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the backland form of development being at odds with the prevailing linear pattern of development along Quemerford outweighed the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a sustainable location.

The modest social and economic benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

Development plan policies: Policy CP57 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (adopted 2015)Policy BE2 of the Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan (Made 2018)
