Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupants of Maybrook Barn, with particular regard to outlook
- Whether other considerations exist which outweigh any conflict with the development plan
What decided it
The Council's resolution to grant planning permission for housing development on the site, combined with the temporary nature of the stockpiles and the environmental inefficiency of backfilling, outweighed the limited and localised harms to character and neighbouring amenity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- COM01GEN02COM03
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 108
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.
