Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site represents a sustainable and appropriate form of development within the countryside area
  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of future occupants with regard nearby dwellings

What decided it

The proposal would constitute harmful piecemeal development on a prominent corner plot that would erode the rural character of the area and fail to meet the sustainability requirements of the development plan, notwithstanding the identified need for older persons housing.
