Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, with particular regard to national and local planning policy, the scale of the proposed replacement dwelling and the effect of the proposed development on the appearance of the site
What decided it
The extant planning permission for a substantially larger replacement dwelling provided a material consideration of considerable weight that outweighed the breach of Policy CP8's 'similar scale' requirement, particularly given the site's generous proportions and screening vegetation would prevent the proposal appearing harmful to the surrounding countryside.
Plan policies cited: Policy CP8, Policy CP13
