Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the safety of other highway users

What decided it

The existence of an approved single dwelling permission on the appeal site and approved permissions for two dwellings to the rear of neighbouring properties materially changed the context such that the proposed two dwellings would not have a materially greater impact on openness or the purposes of the rural area than the original buildings.
