Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the location for the proposed dwelling, including the effect on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area, and the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of Ivory House, with regard to outlook
- the effect on the settings of Mill Cottage and High Garrett Farm, both Grade II listed buildings
- the effect on trees
- whether sufficient information has been provided with regard to Biodiversity Net Gain
- the effect on highway safety
What decided it
