Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including trees
- whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building known as Torr Cottage
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety on Ipplepen Road
- whether the future occupiers of Plot 6 would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of amenity space provision
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location with respect to the settlement pattern
- the effect of the proposal on the provision of housing to meet local need
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for any additional need for infrastructure, services and facilities arising from the development
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building Torr Cottage, to which great weight must be attributed under paragraph 205 of the Framework, is not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
