Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of current and future occupants, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the proposed development provides acceptable access, parking and manoeuvring arrangements for vehicles
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully extend the built-up footprint of the settlement into valuable open space that serves as a buffer to the countryside, conflicting with the established development pattern and policies requiring development to be in or adjacent to the existing developed footprint.
