Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposed development on openness in the Green Belt
  • Whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tockington Conservation Area

What decided it

The appeal site constitutes limited infill development within the village settlement boundary of Tockington, making it not inappropriate development in the Green Belt and therefore acceptable in principle, with the proposed dwelling's neutral impact on the conservation area's character and appearance securing compliance with heritage policies.
