What decided it
The proposed revised design, whilst more prominent than the approved design, would not adversely affect character and appearance as it would present a more traditional appearance and reduce visual massing through hipped roofs and narrower footprints, read in context with surrounding built form.

- Policy 1Policy 2Policy 12Policy 23saved Policy CC-5
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.
