Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the range of dwellings within the National Park
- the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that compelling planning considerations existed in favour of the extension despite exceeding the 30% threshold, particularly because the development would not harm the mix of dwelling types or result in loss of affordable housing, and the design approach using high-quality materials would not harm character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CO17Strategic Policy C
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.
