Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policy

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan as a whole and the Framework, particularly because the backland development would form a continuation of the prevailing character established by existing backland schemes in the immediate vicinity, and would not result in a hard urban edge or encroachment into wider countryside.
