- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed stable block's incongruously excessive scale, height and prominence in an elevated position would harm the character and appearance of the countryside, conflicting with the development plan policies requiring development to complement the surrounding area and not have a significant adverse effect on landscape character.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM4Policy DM10Policy H2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 225
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.
