Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed dwelling would be an appropriate one given the countryside setting
- whether the development would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of Martlesham Road
What decided it
The development would cause serious harm to the established character and appearance of the south side of Martlesham Road by introducing tandem development and eroding the green, open, spacious character of the area, which outweighs the minor benefit of providing a single additional dwelling.

- Policy 3.2Policy 5.2Policy 5.3Policy 5.4Policy 5.7Policy 10.4Policy 11.1
