Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's proximity to Chapel-en-le-Frith town centre, its integration with the existing linear pattern of residential development, and the retention of mature landscaping that would prevent visual intrusion into the countryside, combined with accordance with the up-to-date development plan, justified allowing the appeal.
