Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the coalescence of settlements

What decided it

The site's position on the inner edge of the existing settlement, rather than at a settlement 'end', means the development would not result in coalescence and complies with the development plan taken as a whole.
