Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the revised design on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the location of the site within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Heritage Coast (HC)

What decided it

The revised design retains the previously approved ridge height and general building profile, appearing as a single-storey room-in-roof dwelling that provides appropriate transition between modest bungalows and larger dwellings, thereby conserving the character and appearance of the area and the special qualities of the AONB.
