Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would accord with the development plan's strategy for the distribution of housing in the National Park, including its location and affordability
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, having regard to privacy and outlook
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the landscape and scenic beauty of Dartmoor National Park (DNP)

What decided it

The proposal conflicted with the development plan's spatial strategy for housing distribution and affordability requirements, and caused unacceptable harm to neighbouring privacy, with limited benefits that could not outweigh these adverse effects.
