Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposed development would be acceptable, having regard to the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The removal of existing harmful development (caravan and outbuilding) and replacement with a sensitively designed dwelling that would improve character and appearance, combined with the fact that vehicular movements and service access needs already exist at the site, meant the adverse impacts of the location conflict did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the location conflict and limited accessibility were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the combination of modest socio-economic benefits and the improvement to character and appearance from removing harmful existing development, when assessed against the Framework as a whole under paragraph 11(d)(ii)
