Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the site provides a suitable location for new residential development
- the effect on the character and appearance of the locality and the protected Forest of Bowland National Landscape area
What decided it
The building's siting within and as part of an existing group of development, filling the gap left by a demolished storage shed, constituted acceptable infill development under the development plan policies, and its visual impact on the National Landscape was sufficiently moderated by context and topography to be acceptable subject to landscaping enhancement.
