Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development

What decided it

The proposal's scale (up to four dwellings), close relationship to existing built form, and demonstrated potential to integrate sensitively with the settlement edge while preserving character and appearance, combined with the identified housing need for Cliddesden and the exception provided under Policy SS6(e), justified the grant of permission in principle.
