Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the subdivision of the garden and the unusual chalet bungalow design set back from the highway at a prominent turning head, which outweighs the limited housing benefits of a single infill dwelling.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, specifically the significant harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing a single additional dwelling, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
BDP7BDP19
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 11Paragraph 12Paragraph 8
