- Authority
- Rushcliffe Borough Council
- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Minor Dwellings
- Inspector
- Smith D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwellings would be in a suitable location having regard to relevant development plan policies relating to the spatial strategy, development in the countryside and managing travel demand
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Thoroton Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the spatial strategy for Rushcliffe by locating significant new housing outside the built-up area where development should be restricted, and would not promote sustainable transport given the location's car dependency.
Plan policies cited: Policy 3, Policy 22, Policy 11, Policy 14, Policy 10, Policy 1, Policy 28
