Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the location of the site within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
  • the effect of the proposal on Local Green Space (LGS)
  • whether the proposal demonstrates adequate drainage arrangements

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the AONB and reduce openness of the Local Green Space without demonstrating very special circumstances, combined with failure to demonstrate adequate drainage arrangements.
