Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including but not limited to the setting of the Gayton Conservation Area

What decided it

The development's white cladded contemporary materials and cluttered appearance within the site frontage create striking and unsympathetic composition that detracts from the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Conservation Area, with no public benefits to outweigh the identified harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy SS2 (General Development and Design Principles) of the South Northamptonshire Part 2 Local Plan (2020), Policy BN5 (The Historic Environment and Landscape) of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (Part 1) (2014), Policy HE5 of the South Northamptonshire Part 2 Local Plan (2020)
