Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal, having particular regard to relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether internal and outdoor living space would provide sufficient living conditions for future occupants
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to loss of privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on the local highway network with particular regard to highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on surface water run off
  • the effect of the proposal on heritage assets
  • the effect of the proposal on carbon emissions

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds including unsuitability of location outside the settlement boundary, harmful effects on landscape character and heritage assets, inadequate internal living space, highway safety concerns, and unresolved surface water drainage issues, with no material considerations indicating a decision should be taken otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
