Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to loss of privacy and noise, and the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to private outdoor space associated with plots 1, 2, 5 and 6
  • Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for education, open space, play facilities, playing pitch/sports facilities and affordable housing, having regard to development viability

What decided it

The proposal would conserve the scenic beauty of the South Hams National Landscape and would not adversely affect character and appearance, living conditions, or infrastructure provision, with the fallback position of the recent permission for 6 dwellings providing significant weight to allowing the appeal for 7 dwellings.
