Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site provides a suitable location for the development proposed having particular regard to the development plan's spatial strategy and the effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effects of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 40 and 42 Durham Road with particular regard to privacy and noise
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan's spatial strategy by locating housing outside Development Limits in the countryside without meeting the exceptional design criteria required by policies H6 and H7, and would cause harmful effects upon the character and appearance of the area.
Plan policies cited: Policy SH1, Policy H3, Policy H6, Policy H7, Policy DC1, Policy DC4, Policy H8, Policy ENV3
