Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would not result in harm to the character and appearance of the area, as the site lacks the rural or open character of the wider settlement and a residential scheme could assimilate appropriately within the street scene.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy QOP1Policy 10 of the Stannington Neighbourhood Plan 2018Policy STP 1
