Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be a suitable location for this proposal, having regard to the development plan, the accessibility of services and facilities and the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwelling, Cedar Cottage, in terms of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the definition of infill development under Policy LP01 because it would occupy a backland position extending behind an existing property rather than filling a small undeveloped plot with full highway frontage, and this is uncharacteristic of the established development pattern along Church Street.
Framework references: 80, 84
Plan policies cited: Policy SP03, Policy SP09, Policy LP01, Policy LP24
