Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of both the immediate environs of the site and the wider landscape
  • Whether the proposals would provide suitable ground conditions to maintain the structural integrity of the site and the adjacent highway

What decided it

The visual prominence and stark appearance of the two-storey dwellings on the sloping ridgeline, combined with inadequate landscaping detail and ground engineering solutions, would markedly detract from the rural character and appearance of the area in conflict with the development plan.
