Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site forms a suitable location for residential development having regard to national and local planning policies
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the River Eden Special Area of Conservation, with particular regard to nutrient neutrality
What decided it
The proposal would extend beyond the clearly defined established residential boundary and result in an unacceptable intrusion into the open countryside, failing to comply with national and local planning policies on suitable locations for residential development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP2Policy H02Policy GI1Policy GI3Policy HE1Policy HE3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 79Paragraph 174Paragraph 180Paragraph 189
