Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The careful layout of two buildings with generous spacing, retention of significant tree coverage and verdant character, and high-quality design that sits comfortably within the spacious plot and responds appropriately to its surroundings, particularly in contrast to a previously dismissed single-building scheme on the same site.
