Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to the relevant provisions of the development plan
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Caston Conservation Area (CCA)
- the effect of the development on the integrity of the Habitat sites
What decided it
The site's location immediately adjacent to the settlement boundary, combined with the acceptable design that preserves the character of the conservation area and the secured mitigation for habitat sites, meant the proposal accorded with the development plan and could be allowed without applying the tilted balance.
