Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would not be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area, provides a net increase in dwellings, and is in a sustainable built-up area, with material considerations indicating a decision in accordance with the development plan.

The loss of back garden land must be balanced against the benefits of the provision of new dwellings in a sustainable location, with the benefits outweighing the identified conflicts with supplementary planning guidance.

Development plan policies
Policy P15 - Securing Design Quality
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 61Paragraph 8
