Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the variation of condition 1 on the character and appearance of the area
- whether conditions 8 and 9 are reasonable and necessary in the interests of the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 3 and 8 Underhill Close and Highfield, with particular regard to privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the integrity of the European Sites
What decided it
The approved scheme as a fallback position, combined with the modest nature of the proposed changes and the distance and filtered nature of available views, demonstrated that the amended design would not harm character and appearance or the Green Wedge, subject to material details being agreed.
Plan policies cited: Strategy 7, Policy D1, Strategy 8, Policy 3 of the Lympstone Neighbourhood Plan (2015), Strategies 47 and 50
