- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal building and its setting
What decided it
The proposal would introduce an overly complicated and non-cohesive extension that would be unduly dominant within the business centre and have more than minimal impact on the landscape and rural character, conflicting with Policies 45 and 46 of the Local Plan and paragraph 130 of the NPPF.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 45Policy 46Policy 40
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
