Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The variety of building forms and layouts already established in the village, combined with the proposed dwelling's appropriate design, scale and spacing, means the development would not harm character and appearance and would accord with the development plan.
