Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the dwelling on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of The Bungalow with particular regard to outlook and light
- the effect of traffic and parking relating to parking for the dwelling on the safe and efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site
- whether the development would affect biodiversity in the area
- the effect of the development on the Thames Estuary and Marshes Special Protection Area
What decided it
The site's location within an identified established residential frontage meant the development constituted limited infilling within the village, falling within a Green Belt exception, which was the critical factor enabling the appeal to be allowed.
Plan policies cited: CSSP4, PMD6, PMD1, PMD2, PMD8, PMD9, CSTP19, PMD7
