Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is located in a suitable location, having regard to local and national planning policy
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • If the development is not in accordance with the development are there other material considerations that would outweigh this conflict

What decided it

The fall-back position established by the quashing of the enforcement notice in Appeal A, which meant the building would become a dwelling in any event, outweighed the conflict of Appeal B with the development plan.

The substantial weight attributed to the fall-back position (the lawful prior approval development confirmed by Appeal A) outweighed the conflict of Appeal B with the development plan on location and character, tipping the balance in favour of allowing the appeal.
