- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure

- Inspector
- Pipkin R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the settlement gap between Horton Heath and Fair Oak
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether or not the proposed development would adversely affect the integrity of protected habitats sites
What decided it
The existence of extant prior approvals for conversion to five dwellings and office use, which would give rise to similar or greater harm to character and appearance with less control over landscaping, made the appeal scheme acceptable on balance.
