Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The scale and massing of the proposed dwelling would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area by creating an abrupt and unsympathetic transition to the open countryside, conflicting with the development plan policies that require development to positively contribute to the locally distinct rural character.
Plan policies cited: Policy EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan (2011 to 2029) (2016), Policy HO1 of the East Woodhay Neighbourhood Plan 2022-2029, Guideline 45 of the Parish of East Woodhay Village Design Statement for Woolton Hill and the Hamlets (2005), Guideline 62 of the Parish of East Woodhay Village Design Statement for Woolton Hill and the Hamlets (2005)
