Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.1 Smithfield Cottages, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable adverse impact upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No.1 Smithfield Cottages through an overly oppressive, dominant and overbearing feature resulting in loss of outlook outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
The limited benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits and renewable energy features did not outweigh the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact and loss of outlook.
