Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would unbalance the street scene and urbanise the plot through hardstanding and fencing on a prominent corner, significantly reducing the sense of openness and verdant character that defines the area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high-quality design responsive to local context.

Plan policies cited: Policy 8d parts i) and ii) of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031, Policy ED.D1 of the Earls Barton Neighbourhood Plan 2011-2031, Policy 8b part i) of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031
