Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the provision of open space
- whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with respect to the internal space of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The adverse effect on character and appearance combined with unjustified loss of open space without adequate replacement provision, contrary to the development plan, outweighed the neutral or minor benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS9A2E3H4A1CS09
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 128Paragraph 135Paragraph 139Paragraph 52
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.
