Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The introduction of a hard boundary treatment of greater height than previously sited would create an austere and urbanising effect that would significantly erode the verdant character of this sensitive and prominent location, contrary to Policies NBE9 and GEN1 which require development to be sensitive to surroundings and positively contribute to area quality.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy NBE9 of the Hart Local Plan (Strategy and Sites) 2020Policy GEN1 of the Hart Local Plan (Replacement) 2020

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.
