Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt is a relevant factor in considering the appeal, having regard to local and national planning policy and, if so, what effect the proposal would have in that regard
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of Elm Cottage, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposal would result in an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook, conflicting with Policy DM9 of the development plan.
