- Inspector
- Craddock K
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the location of the proposed use with particular regard to the relevant spatial strategy of the development plan
- the effect of the proposed use on the character and appearance of the countryside
- whether there are other material considerations sufficient to outweigh any harm identified in respect of the first and second issues
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan spatial strategy by locating a non-small-scale garden extension in the countryside outside the settlement boundary, and would result in encroachment and harm to rural character that cannot be outweighed by the appellant's disability-related needs.
