Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development plan including its effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for occupiers of the proposed dwellings with particular regard to provision of refuse facilities

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan, particularly regarding its effect on character and appearance by extending beyond the settlement's core form, the lack of clear demonstrable community support and Parish Council backing required by the Neighbourhood Plan, and the failure to demonstrate adequate refuse collection provision for future occupiers.
