Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the existing dwelling and the rural character and appearance of the area
- Whether the additional residential accommodation, within a Coastal Change Management Area, particularly in the absence of a Coastal Erosion Vulnerability Study, would result in development with an increased risk to property or life through its planned lifetime
What decided it
The proposed extensions would result in a much enlarged dwelling with significantly increased height and bulk that would be harmful to the rural character and appearance of the area, contrary to development plan policies, and the absence of a required Coastal Erosion Vulnerability Assessment constituted a breach of policy DM23.
Framework references: 2
