Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The acknowledged shortfall in housing land supply and the benefit of providing an additional dwelling in a sustainable location carried great weight and outweighed the limited harm to character and appearance.
The limited harm caused to the character and appearance of the area would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefit of making more effective use of the site to provide an additional dwelling in a sustainable location, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development therefore applied.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PP27Policy PP28Policy PP2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 69Paragraph 120Paragraph 130
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.
