Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, with particular regard to development plan policies in relation to accessibility and need
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the Tamar Valley NL and trees
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking of plots 11 and 12 in the adjoining development
- whether foul drainage provision would be adequate for the proposed development
- whether the proposed development would achieve sufficient carbon reduction
- the effect of the proposed development on designated nature conservation sites
What decided it
The site's location within the settlement boundary, surrounded by existing built form, combined with its accessibility to services and employment, and the absence of unacceptable harm to landscape character, living conditions, drainage, carbon reduction or designated sites, justified allowing the appeal.
