Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents in regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The development's erosion of the verdant character and disruption of street uniformity, combined with its overbearing appearance and harm to neighbouring privacy and outlook, outweighs the functional benefits of level access and bin storage.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ESD 15 of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011–2031 (2015)saved Policy C30 of the Cherwell Local Plan (1996)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
