Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
What decided it
The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and the Cotswolds AONB through its suburban residential form and scale, which would be out of keeping with the rural character of the landscape, and this harm would not be outweighed by the limited benefits identified.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SD7 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 176
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.
