Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposed development would result in harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area by introducing backland residential development that is entirely at odds with the established linear pattern of development and would create a hard urban edge against the rural backdrop, conflicting with Policy LP8 of the development plan.
