Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal constitutes an acceptable form of development outside the development limits
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Eston Hills
What decided it
The proposal's substantial size and massing would not be suitably scaled to the existing farmhouse and would appear visually prominent and conspicuous within the sensitive Eston Hills landscape, causing harm to its character that was not outweighed by the private benefits claimed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SD3Policy N1Policy SD4
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.
