Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location taking account of development plan policies and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • whether or not adequate arrangements are made for the disposal of surface water from the site

What decided it

The proposed development would cause clear and obvious harm to the character and appearance of the area by eroding the open, spacious and verdant character at a sensitive urban-rural transition, and would result in inappropriate development in the undeveloped coast contrary to Policy EN2.

Framework references: 11, 171

Plan policies cited: Policy S22, Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy EN2, Policy WE8, Policy S9, Policy EN4
