Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The extent to which the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Avening Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Avening Conservation Area through the introduction of prominent built form that would erode the open and rural character of the site, and the limited public benefits of a single dwelling do not outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DS3EN2EN10EN11
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
