Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed bungalow's scale, elevation and backland position would have an unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high-quality design that does not adversely affect the area.
The limited housing benefits and social and economic benefits of the development were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan 2014Policy LPD 40 of the Gedling Borough Local Planning Document Part 2 2018
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
