Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider area including the distinctive qualities of Dartmoor National Park
- whether the proposal would conflict with development plan policies relating to the mix and type of housing available in the National Park
- if harm is found, whether material considerations, including any fallback position justifies a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The fallback position of returning the dwelling to its original inadequate size would cause greater harm to the occupiers' living conditions than the policy breach caused by the extension.
Plan policies cited: Strategic Policy 1.1, Strategic Policy 1.2, Strategic Policy 1.5, Strategic Policy 1.6, Strategic Policy 2.3, Policy 3.7, Policy 2.7
