Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development is in a suitable location, having regard to the settlement hierarchy and accessibility of services
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan by locating residential use outside the settlement hierarchy in an area with poor accessibility to services and facilities, and by intensifying residential character in a way that harms the undeveloped character of the area contrary to Policy LP34.
