Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and landscape

What decided it

The existing visual and physical characteristics of the site meant the proposed change of use would not unacceptably affect character and appearance, and the swimming pool's screening and positioning would minimise its landscape impact.

Development plan policies
Policy DM.24Policy DM.29Policy SP.20Policy SP.22

Paragraph 135Paragraph 154Paragraph 180
