- Procedure

- residential · Minor Dwellings
- Inspector
- Price J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed new dwelling and its location would comply with development plan policy
- effects on the character and appearance of the area
- suitability in respect of living conditions for future and neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy
- impact on highway safety
- effects on protected and priority species
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with key development plan policies, particularly Policy LPP 37 which does not permit replacement of the existing caravan and shed use, and the significant harm to character and appearance from the large, poorly designed backland dwelling outweighs the material considerations in its favour.
Plan policies cited: Policy SP 3, Policy LPP 1, Policy LPP 42, Policy LPP 67, Policy SP 7, Policy LPP 52, Policy LPP 37, Policy LPP 64, Policy LPP 65
