Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed replacement dwelling would be acceptable with regard to the Council's spatial strategy and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the housing mix

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's excessive scale (over 100% increase in floor area) and bulky two-storey suburban design would erode the rural character of the area and conflict with Policy S4's requirement that replacement dwellings respect the intrinsic character of their surroundings.
