Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's modest scale, sympathetic design and siting would assimilate comfortably within the existing built form and tree coverage, causing no tangible harm to character and appearance or the AONB, while the single additional dwelling would not generate significant traffic to compromise highway safety.
