Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there are any planning policies, planning issues and/or matters raised in the representations that would justify refusal of the proposal

What decided it

The Council's agreement that the proposal was acceptable, combined with the Inspector's finding that the replacement dwelling would enhance the character and appearance of the AONB and would not cause unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal.
