Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the provisions of the local housing strategy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the South Devon Area National Landscape
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting of listed buildings
- the effect of the proposed development on the local highway network with particular regard to parking provision and highway safety
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for existing neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on carbon emissions
What decided it
The significant conflict with the development plan's local housing strategy combined with substantial harm to the character and appearance of the National Landscape, the setting of listed buildings, and the local highway network could not be outweighed by any material considerations.
