Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed fourth dwelling would result in a significantly more intensive development that would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area compared to the fall-back position of three approved dwellings.
The limited additional benefits of the fourth dwelling were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance caused by the loss of semi-rural spacing compared to the approved fall-back scheme.

- Development plan policies
- Policy DE13
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
