Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the alleged breaches of planning control upon the provision of open space, sporting and recreational facilities
  • the effects of the alleged breaches of planning control upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the loss of the appeal site's open space and playing field capabilities would not result in a shortage of such facilities in the local area, and the development is incongruous with the sporting and recreational character of the surrounding area.
