Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to development plan policies which seek to control new housing in the countryside
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for foul drainage
What decided it
The modest scale of the extension to an established residential property, combined with the social benefits of providing family accommodation and the ability to control future use through conditions, outweighed countryside location policies.
